Etymologies

Category	Explanation
Unclear Metalinguistic	“Mesygis: a mountain of Lydia. The local adjective Mesygitēs. Strabo 14.1.47: 'whence the excellent Mesygitis wine, the Aromeus.'” — The passage names the place, gives its ethnic adjective, and notes that excellent wine (called Mesygitis/Aromeus) comes from it, but it does not provide an origin or derivation of the toponym.
