This is related to PNC *?_@... 'joint, bone' (?_ stands for an epiglottal
stop), Basque adar 'horn'.

HmHm
Basque looks nice.
I suppose M. Morvan would welcome one more Siberian connection with Basque.

BTW, Arnaud, I've got Ernout-Meillet in my hands and it reads mi:luus with
LONG i:.
So either you were lying or else you've got a poor vision.

L'un n'empêche pas l'autre, n'est-ce pas ?
You must have a poor vision or you have no idea what the latinistic
conventions are :
bottom of page 582 : mi:les long i with straight line
bottom of page 583 : miluus short i with curved line
It reads miluus with a short i.
Ernoult-Meillet does not mention any long i:
but
On the yellow page 836 of my old Latin dictionary,
I can see :
milvius Ovide, milvus Cicero, mi:lvus Plautus, Phaeder, i. milan.

I just discovered Latin circus (formerly) 'circle' has a Vasco-Caucasian
etymology from PNC *gi:rgwV 'circle, round'.

Don't be silly,
This root went round the world ten times long before Magellan or CocaCola
Brand ever tried.
