_______________________________________________

(qepHom 2024, p. 35):  The second part [of {Dem'ot mIr} or {nIq mIr}] is {mIr} "chain".  Maltz wasn't sure, but he thought that {nIq} was shortened from {nIqwI'} "weaver" because of the back-and-forth motion of weaving.  He wasn't aware of {nIq} (a noun) being used elsewhere.  But, of course, he's not aware of everything.  {Dem'ot}, a noun, can be translated as "flow" in the sense of continuous motion.
