Zuberoan: motz 1, motzak 2, mutxurdin 3
Roncalese: motz 1, motzak 2, mutxurdin 3
Comments: The form mutx-urdin probably reflects vowel assimilation (o > u) and expressive palatalization (tz > tx). Since lexicographers have avoided these words, due to their obscene nature, it is difficult to find detailed information about dialectal variants, etc. If the Bsq-NC comparison is valid, the original meaning was ‘pubic hair’ (cf. Burushaski *=múś-ki) > related meanings.

Word: мех,
Near etymology: род. п. -а, меха́ мн.; мехи́ -- мн. от мех "бурдюк, мешок", мешо́к, род. п. -шка́, укр. мiх, ст.-слав. мѣхъ ἀσκός (Супр.), болг. мех(ъ́т) "бурдюк, мех" (Младенов 312), сербохорв. ми̏jех, мн. миjе̏хови, ме̑х, род. п. ме̏ха "поддувало, пузырь", словен. mȇh, род. п. mȇha "бурдюк, мех", чеш. měch, слвц. mесh "мех", польск. miесh "мех, куль, поддувало", в.-луж., н.-луж. měch, полаб. mесh.
Further etymology: Родственно лит. mаĩšаs "мешок", мн. maišaĩ, лтш. màiss -- то же, лит. диал. máišė "сетка для сена", máišas "мешок для сена", др.-прусск. moasis "кузнечный мех", др.-инд. mēṣás "баран, шкура", авест. mаēšа- м. "овца", mаēšī (ж.) -- то же, ср.-перс., нов.-перс. mēš "овца, баран", др.-исл. meiss м. "плетеная корзина для переноски", норв. meis "корзина для переноски", д.-в.-н. meisa "приспособление для ношения тяжестей на спине"; см. Бернекер 2, 46 и сл.; Мейе--Вайан 31; М.--Э. 2, 551; Траутман, ВSW 165; Торп 302; Буга, РФВ 73, 341 и сл.; Эндзелин, СБЭ 52 и сл.; ZfslPh 16, 115; Шпехт 52. "Корзины из шкур известны еще с древних времен" (см. Фальк--Торп 709), поэтому разграничение герм. и остальных слов не представляется необходимым, вопреки Лидену (РВВ 15, 512). Лит. mаĩšаs : máišė = var̃nas : várnа (см. Траутман).
