So, Czech mhla, Slovak hmla, Old Church Slavonic m'gla, Lithuanian migla 'fog, mist', Sanskrit mih (mehati) 'to urinate', megha 'cloud', Greek omeikho 'to urinate', omikhle 'mist, fog', Gothic mihstaus 'dung', German mist 'dung', Old English meox 'muck', Old Norse myki 'muck'. I started with Czech and Slovak, because I was getting words with many consonants and few or no vowels in them to pass time at work from a Slovak informant. The laryngeal, /h3/, only leaves its trace in the Greek forms. Slovak switches the first two consonants around.
