Notes : B&E derive this from *mik- id., but this is speculative: the root could indeed go back to a possible PDR *mik-nc- > *minc-, but this remains to be proved. Correspondences are also irregular; external data (Telugu) points to an original weak nasal cluster (*-nc-), but Kodagu and Tulu show a voiced *-nj-.
