Construction form of מיתרים (“cords”) + קול (“voice”), literally: "the-cords of the-voice". Most probably a load translation from a European language.

Usage notes[edit]
While the formal pronunciation better reflects the traditional vowel signs, it is rarely used today, giving way to the modern colloquial pronunciation even in formal settings.
