#2460 PTB *m(r)(u/a)k GRASS / WEEDS

Reconstructed mesoroots below:

This etymon was formerly divided between two separate etyma, one meaning GRASS and the other meaning WEEDS / DETRITUS. The latter was reconstructed both in STC #363 and in HPTB:360 as *muːk. However, despite the WB doublet mrak ‘grass’ and ăhmuik ‘refuse, dust’, we have now decided to combine them into a single etymon.
