Proposals for further etymology include: 1. a Proto-Indo-European *méh₂-r̥ ~ *mh₂-én-, from *(s)meh₂- (“to beckon, signal”), favoured by Mallory and D. Q....

    From Proto-Indo-European *meh₂-no- (“good”), from *meh₂- (“timely, opportune”). Compare immānis (“vast, monstrous”), Old Irish maith (“good”), Welsh mad (“id”), Breton mat (“id”), as well as English matins and mature.
