Mun kinship of and  may be found, since the latter is an old *mû-lo-, while the former may represent *mu-nþo (with a  suffix, see ). mú-kha, ‘mouth.’

 (2.),, ‘protection,’ from and  munt, , ‘protection, hand’;   mund, ‘hand, protection,’  mund, , ‘hand’; the  term still exists in mond-baar with the variant momber, ‘guardian,’  mundboro,  mundbora,  muntboro,  muntbor, , ‘protector, tutor’;  also  and. is certainly not connected with mûnire (with regard to û from Aryan ai,  moenia), but is probably derived from a root cognate with that of  manus, ‘hand.’   , and, ‘ward, minor,’  only; in  mundelinc, ‘ward’ and ‘guardian.’ A derivative of  (2).   , from the   mündec. , ‘of age,’ from (2).  ,, ‘to whisper secretly,’ only; from the  root munk, mū̆k. See.  , and, ‘minster, cathedral,’ from. münster, munustiri, munistri,,  ‘monastery, convent’ , then  ‘monastery or convent church, collegiate church, cathedral’;   mynster,  minster. Formed from and  monastêrium, ‘monastery,’ whence also  moutier, ‘monastery, convent’ ( also  munter, manister, as well as  monastyrĭ, ‘monastery’). monasteria were cellae in quibus unicus degit monachus, then generally ‘monastery,’ finally ‘cathedral,’ quod plerisque in ecclesiis cathedralibus monachi, non ut hodie canonici, olim sacra munera obirent (this signification is found even towards the end of the 11th ). was borrowed at the same period as ;  and.  ,, ‘cheerful, lively, brisk,’ from munter, munder,  muntar, , ‘fresh, lively, zealous, wakeful’; probably allied to  mundrel, , ‘aim,’ and mundôn, , ‘to fix one's eyes upon,’ so that ‘striving’ is the  meaning of the. It is also allied to  mądrŭ, ‘wise,’  mundrùs, mandrùs, ‘cheerful.’ Moreover,  muntar may also be connected with  męnden,   męndian, ‘to rejoice’ ( root manþ).   (1.),, from the  münȥe,  muniȥȥa, , ‘coin.’ The word was adopted in West  previous to the  permutation, probably even before the time of Tacitus, from  monêta, ‘coin, money’;   mynet,  mint,  munt. monêta, on its adoption, was probably pronounced, with a accent, mónêta; ê passed into î and ŏ into ŭ, later ü; múnita is the initial stage of  múnĭȥȥa. That words were introduced with  money (Tacit. Germ. 5) is antecedently probable. .

 (2.),, to.   ,, ‘tender,’ from mürwe, mür,  muruwi, murwi, , ‘tender, mellow’; also, with the same sense,  marawi, maro,  mar ( marwer),  mearu. The root mar appears further in μαραίνω, ‘to cause to wither,’  mlâ, ‘to fade’; also in  meirb, ‘soft.’  ,, ‘to murmur,’ from murmeln,  murmulôn, with the parallel form murmurôn, ‘to murmur, grumble’; either from  murmurare, or rather a native onomatopoetic form. See.  ,, ‘marmot,’ corrupted in late from  mürmendîn, ,  murmuntî, , ‘marmot’ ( variant muremunto, ). The ultimate source of the word is murem montis (mus montis, mus montanus), whence also the corresponding  marmotta,  marmotte. The form murmuntî is extended by a  suffix.  ,, ‘to grumble, mutter,’ first occurs in early. Allied to the  morren,  murcnian.  ,, ‘pap, porridge, connection of fruit,’ from and  muos, , ‘cooked food,  pap-like food; food, meal’;  and  môs, , ‘food.’ The assumed  *môsa-, ‘food,’ may be connected with mati-, ‘food,’ while *môsa- may represent *môtta- with a dental suffix; in that case the root would be  mat, pre- mā̆d, ‘to cook, prepare food’ (for  mats, ‘food,’ see  and ). To this is allied, ‘vegetables,’ from gemüese ( *gimuosi), , which as a derivative presumes the more general sense of  muos. See. <section end="Mus" />
