Abstract

It is argued that Cretan mu omega lambda epsilon iota nu 'contend, bring an action to court' may be derived from PIE *melh3- 'to go, walk', attested also in Gk. prs. beta lambda omega sigma chi omega aor. epsilon mu omicron lambda omicron nu, reflecting the frequent usage of motion verbs in legal contexts meaning 'file a lawsuit'. The derivational basis of mu omega lambda epsilon omega may have been a thematized root noun *molh(3)-s 'going (to court)' or a vrddhi-formation based on *mu omicron lambda omicron zeta 'going'.
