Compare Welsh morwyn (girl, maiden) (< Proto-Celtic *moreinā-), Welsh merch (daughter) (< Proto-Celtic *merkā), Ancient Greek μεῖραξ (meîrax, boy, girl), Sanskrit मर्य (márya, young man; foal), Bactrian μαρηγο (marēgo, servant) (< Proto-Indo-European *meri̯o-), Lithuanian merga (girl) (< Proto-Indo-European *mergh-eh₂-), Lithuanian marti (daughter-in-law) (< Proto-Indo-European *mor-t-iH-).[1]
