Lithuanian

Etymology

Cognate with Latvian marsna (“baptism sheet”), of uncertain further origin. Traditionally derived from a Proto-Indo-European *merg- (“net cloth”), and compared with Latvian marga (“railing, gallery”), Proto-Slavic *mèrža (“net”), and Ancient Greek βρόχος (brókhos, “noose, snare”); however, Smoczynski is skeptical due to the mismatch in phonetics of the Lithuanian term's -š(k)- with the *-g- in the Proto-Indo-European, and the hypothetical change from *g to š(k) would have to be explained.
