Mitigaila

MITIGÁILA

Etymology

It is theoretically possible that it is a compound example: Mit-i-gáila. Unfortunately, see Bargáila. The origin of the first myth is completely unclear. Perhaps he has evolved from some other gender. For example, the following development is possible: *Mint-i-gaila under the influence of the Latvian (or Žiemgali) language > *Mīt-i-gaila in the dialect (or irregular) > Mit-i-gaila. Then for mit- < *mīt- < *mint- see Mingáila
