mlutk-

Tocharian B

Etymology

Uncertain. Probably in same way related to Tocharian A mlusk-. The term may derive from Proto-Indo-European *melh₃-, whence also Ancient Greek βλώσκω (blṓskō). However, Adams argues that such an etymology requires a pre-form *melōw-, which Adams considers to be unlikely.

Verb

mlutk-

  1. to escape
