Etymology
15th century, from de gml mūke, from de gmw-pro *mūku. Of de 1 further origin; perhaps from de gem-pro *mūkaz, from de ine-pro *mewg- slimy, slippery.744-45
Cognate with gmh mūche (whence dialectal de Mauche) and dum muyck (whence nl muik, now usually nl mok). The -au- in de Mauke either through conflation with the inherited form or simply through artificial adaptation to the Standard German vowel system. Also cognate slightly farther to en muck and en meek.
