Etymology

[edit]

Cognate withMycenaean Greek𐀕𐀲(me-ta); further derivation is uncertain. Perhaps fromProto-Indo-European*meth₂, with the first part from*me(with), in which case cognates includeProto-Germanic*midi andAlbanianmjet(middle),me.[1] See alsoμέχρι(mékhri,until) andμέσος(mésos,middle).

The genitive is an innovated Greek associative. The dative is from the PIE locative. The accusative is from the pre-PIE directional.
