"muk-" meaning in Proto-Germanic

See muk- in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Uncertain, but possibly from Proto-Indo-European *mew-g-, *mew-k- (“to be slippery, glide, slip; slime; slimy”); compare Latin mūcus. However the sound correspondences with the few potential cognates are irregular, and a substrate or onomatopoeic origin is possible. Etymology templates: {{unc|gem-pro}} Uncertain, {{der|gem-pro|ine-pro|*mew-g-}} Proto-Indo-European *mew-g-, {{cog|la|mūcus}} Latin mūcus, {{der|gem-pro|qfa-sub}} substrate, {{onomatopoeic|gem-pro|nocap=1}} onomatopoeic
