Etymology[edit]
Probably cognate with Tibetan རྨོག (rmog, “helmet”), Chinese 帽 (OC *muːɡs, “hat”), with a frozen indefinite possessor prefix tɤ-; compare Breton tog-touseg (“mushroom”), literally “frog hat”.[1][2]
Alternatively, it may be from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g/s-məw (“mushroom”); compare Nuosu ꂥ (hmu), Burmese မှို (hmui).[3]
