Proto-Altaic: *mìlt`e ( ~ -i)
Meaning: full, fill
Russian meaning: полный, наполнять
Comments: KW 260, АПиПЯЯ 111, 278. The root is very similar to *mi̯ólo 'full, fill' and may indeed be derived: *mi̯ol-t`i. Such an explanation, however, would involve a metatony in Japanese and borrowing in TM (milte- < Mong. melte-), so we prefer to separate the two roots for the time being.
