  • Greek μίτρα-is homonymous with the wellknown Indo-Iranian word *mitrá-(Oldindian mitrá- "contract, friend, the got Mitra"; Avestan miθra- "contract, the god Miθρa-", etc.). This has lead to relating both words in the etymological speculation. Gr. μίτρα- has been often explained as a loan from the Indoiranian. Other authors support that both words derive from a common Indo-European form. The author of this paper tries to show that both hypotheses are false, and that the Greek word has no relationship with the Indoiranian one.
