Linguistic Question About Getai

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

Is it OK for the team to reveal where they took some of the Getai names from? I'm curious on some, mainly the name "mezenai" for horsemen. For what I know it doesn't seem to have a cognate in any other IE language, even though Dacian was supposed to be one.

Example: we have Equus in latin (p turns into q as in *penk --->quinque), cognate with Hippos (Greek) and Epos (Gaulish), but I personally can't find a parallel between them and mezenai. That said the language isn't closely related, but the root for it must still have been different then. Even in English you have something like "Horse" which can be defined as a (quite remote) cognate with these. Do we actually know the Thraco-Getic word for "horse"?

A minor but intriguing question nevertheless.
