Etymology 1

edit

Smith (2011) proposes that (OC *smid), graphically depicting an ax or halberd, is a nominal derivative of the verb (OC *med) "to annihilate" "by the multivalent prefix *s- (‘annihilate’ > ‘annihilator’ and thus ‘axe’)", and it was used to name the late, broad waxing crescent moon.

Association with the dog was possibly arbitrary; just as how was associated arbitarily with the dragon (see Ferlus, 2013).
