Proto-South Dravidian : *muc-/*mŭǯ-
Meaning : monkey
Tamil : mucu
Tamil meaning : langur, Semnopithecus priamus
Malayalam : mocca
Malayalam meaning : a light-coloured monkey
Kannada : musu, musuku, musuva
Kannada meaning : a large and black kind of ape
Kannada derivates : (Hav.) muju black monkey; (Gowda, Dr. Ling., p. 98) mucca black-faced monkey
Kodagu : muccë
Kodagu meaning : langur
Tulu : mujji, mujju
Tulu meaning : a black monkey
Notes : Depending on the suffix, the lexeme is present in two different forms: 1) *múc-a (Gowda mucca, Kod. muccë, possibly Malayalam mocca, although the -o- still has to be accounted for); 2) *muǯ-ú (Tam. mucu, Kan. musu, muju). Tulu mujji somewhat stands out in this context, as it can only be traced back to *múǯǯ-i. Secondary derivation from a lost **muju < *muǯ-ú? Unclear.

Comments: Ozawa 98-99, Лексика 168. The Jpn. parallel shows that, despite Clark 1980, 43, there is no need for assuming Mong. < Turk. (which is difficult because of *m-, but still possible; the Mong. variant bečin is certainly < Turkic). altet-prnum,altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-turc,altet-mong,altet-jap,altet-reference,

All IE sources (EDT 295, TMN 2, 382-383), like Pers. būzīna, proposed for this word are quite unclear etymologically and probably borrowed themselves. {Cf. also some modern words meaning 'cat': MKypch., Khor. mačɨ, Uzb. maši, Tat. mäči, see Лексика 192, perhaps borrowed from Turk. into Slovak and Hungarian.} turcet-prnum,turcet-meaning,turcet-rusmean,turcet-atu,turcet-krh,turcet-chg,turcet-sjg,turcet-trm,turcet-chv,turcet-reference,
