Etymology
mul Q156205 1794.
mul Seemingly from an Ancient Greek *κυχρος, but unattested. Coincides morphologically with certain Northern Prakrit terms (see the descendants of pra 𑀓𑀼𑀓𑁆𑀓𑀼𑀟 rooster), which may coincide with the range of many of these species, but this is unlikely. Likely a misinterpretation of another Ancient Greek term.
