Etymology
Etymology of creation: From PIE *me, to blow, as in the wind blowing. Wind was also a long I before the vowel change so I made it that dipthong. Also attached it to eggthur, since that was an existing movement word with one meaning being to race, thus the g on the end. Notes
Literally to move with intent. To go. To have gone. Went. To come. It is the word go in go away and the word come in come here. It is meant to represent the act of moving an entire living thing, though it can be used less formally to mean the moving of a part of a thing with intent, such as to move my finger. The direction of movement is given by other words in the sentence or implication. It cannot be used to represent unintentional movement. So it's no good as a word for fall or tumble or even for sleepwalk.
