Word: мышь
Near etymology: ж., укр. миш, ст.-слав. мъшь μῦς (Еuсh. Sin.), болг. миш, сербохорв. ми̏ш, словен. mìš, род. п. míši, чеш., слвц. mуš, польск. mysz, в.-луж., н.-луж. mуš.
Further etymology: И.-е. основа на согласный: др.-инд. mū́ṣ- м. "мышь", нов.-перс. mūš, греч. μῦς м. "мышь, мышца", лат. mūs, алб. mi "мышь", д.-в.-н. mûs -- то же, арм. mukn "мышь, мышца"; см. Траутман, ВSW 191; Мейе, Ét. 262; Торп 326; Хюбшман 475. Сюда же др.-инд. mṓṣati, muṣati, muṣṇā́ti "ворует"; см. Шпехт 39 и сл.; KZ 59, 280 и сл.; Уленбек, Aind. Wb. 227. От мышь произведено мыши́на тро́пка "млечный путь"; согласно народн. поверью, млечный путь -- это, как и радуга, дорога, по которой душа отправляется на тот свет; см. Крек, Einl. 423 и сл. Ср. лит. Paũkščių kẽlias, Paũkščių tãkas "млечный путь", букв. "птичья дорога, тропа", нж.-нем. kаuраt -- то же, собственно, "коровья тропа".
Trubachev's comments: [Скорее всего, это одно из древнейших и.-е. табуистических названий животных -- *mūs, собственно, "серая", -- родственное словам муха, мох; см. Трубачев, ZfS 3, 1958, стр. 676 и сл. -- Т.]
