Etimoloji
From Old Danish and Old Norse myg, either borrowed from Middle Low German mügge, from Old Saxon mugga, from Proto-West Germanic *muggjā, from Proto-Germanic *mugjǭ (“midge, small fly”); or, from Proto-Germanic *mują (“small fly”). See also with Norwegian, Swedish mygg, English midge, German Mücke. The West Nordic word, Old Norse mý, probably goes back to a different stem, *mują.
