Etymology

Together with Proto-Slavic *mъskъ ( cf.Bulgarian мъск ‎(mŭsk), all, presumably, spreading from the South), forming an areal Balkan word for 'mule'[1]. The relationship with Latin mulus and Ancient Greek μυχλός ‎(mukhlós) is unclear. All these terms could have derived from an extinct Mediterranean substrate
