[edit]Etymology
[edit]The entry by Beekes in his Etymological Dictionary of Greek reads (in paraphrase):
"Expressive and onomatopoeic words, resembling κινυρίζω (kinurízō, “to lament”) and κινυρός (kinurós, “wailing”), with which were amalgamated in a way that can no longer be established. There is no further evidence for a variation κ/μ, as proposed by Furnée. Still, Pre-Greek origin is possible, according to Beekes. Latin minurriō (“to chirp, twitter”) shows a remarkable similarity; if it is not directly borrowed from Greek, it was at least influenced by it. According to Leumann, this verb is the oldest form of the series, while μινυρός (minurós) is a back-formation."
