English meaning : net
Russian meaning[s]: 1) сеть, сетка, силок; поймать в сеть, выловить; сетчатый; 2) строгость (законов)
Comments: The word mùng is used in Viet. only to denote a mosquito-net; standard Sino-Viet. is võng. Another variant of the same root may be Viet. màng 'membrane, web, cobweb' (Chin. 網 is used in that sense, too): both are widely represented in Austroasiatic, Thai and Miao-Yao, but absent in Sino-Tibetan, which makes the Austroasiatic origin of this word probable. For *mh cf. Xiamen baŋ6, Chaozhou maŋ4.
