Abstract

Abstract My goal in this study is to persuade the reader that the word mycms is a compound noun with the elements /may/ + /yucmas/. I will endorse the analysis argued by Good that the Punic compound can be explained by reference to the Greek word Μαιουμα(ς), the name of a spring festival. To the cogent objections of critics of the seemingly odd compound implied by this analysis, I offer agreement, but also the further observation that linguistic theory predicts its oddness. Punic mycms provides an example of noun incorporation, a process of deriving lexemes from sentence elements.
