Reading these books and these roots I come out with another misunderstanding
we have a root
1. mad- 'to be wet, to be fat'
(mixed by LIV in 2 roots mad- med- that for a strange reason, at least for me)
and next
2. med- 'to measure, to judge'
But when I took Gothic mats (English meat) the root where to assign this word become very unclear for me
In Pokorny this word enter on a third root
3. med-2 Pokorny 706
Any clear etymology for Gothic mats?
Thanks again,
Marius
