Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/meh₁

Etymology
Compare 🇨🇬/🇨🇬, not a prohibitive particle. According to Martirosyan, if the word originally meant ‘not’ and later obtained the function of the prohibitive, we are dealing with an Armeno-Greek-Albanian-Indo-Iranian grammatical isogloss.

Could be related to, giving the idea of something doing wrong. See Proto-Germanic for further details.
