Proto-Mon-Khmer

Etymology
  • Proto-Mon-Khmer: *muuj ~ *muəj ~ *muuɲ (Shorto, 2006, #1495)

Proto-Aslian had alternate nasal onset. Vietic and Mang have stop codas that don't match with the rest. The Khasian word (if indeed a reflex of this root) shows the lost of initial *m-. Also compare Santali ᱢᱤᱫ (mit’).
