Etymology edit
From Proto-Indo-European *smoḱru (“beard”), from original *smóḱwr̥. Cognate with Albanian mjekër (“beard”), Old Armenian մօրուք (mōrukʻ, “beard”), Lithuanian smãkras (“chin”), Hittite 𒍝𒈠𒀭𒆳 (za-ma-an-kur /tsmá(n)gur/, “beard”), Irish smech (“chin”). The assimilation of Sanskrit *s to ś, thus giving श्मश्रु (śmaśru) instead of *स्मश्रु (smaśru), is regular in the presence of another ś as is also observed in शश (śaśa, “hare”) and श्वशुर (śvaśura, “father-in-law”).
