"mūk-" meaning in Proto-Germanic

See mūk- in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

Forms: mūk- [canonical], muk- [canonical], mug- [canonical]
Etymology: From Proto-Indo-European *(s)mewgʰ- (“to conceal, swindle, thieve”). Cognate with Latin muger (“cheater”), Old Irish formúighte, formúchthae (“hidden”). The forms with geminate *-kk- and its voicing alternation with *-gg- may point to an original n-suffix in pre-Germanic, likely iterative *(s)mugʰ-néh₂-ti which resulted in Proto-Germanic *mukkōną ~ *muggōną, whence the other terms were derived; long *-ū- likely formed for compensatory lengthening upon the degemination of a following *-kk- to *-k-.
