Notes :A complicated case. Tamil points at the following variants: 1) *mud-; 2) *mū-; 3) *mūt- (a few forms also hint at **mūd-, but these are in a minority and may be deemed secondary). The first and third variants are obviously related, but if so, only *mūt- can be regarded as original, with *mud- developed out of it due to prosodic reasons. As for *mū- (which should be reconstructed as a variant for the PSDR stage), it is yet unclear how it could have developed out of *mūt- (the standard verbal derivative would be *mutu (-pp-, -tt-) for Tamil).

Notes :The root had a long vowel originally, as evidenced by Tamil mūṛ, etc. However, it is more often met with an accented suffix (*muṛ-úg-, etc.), as well as with one-consonant suffixes (*mūṛ-g-, etc.). Tamil mūṛku is irregular (*mūṭku should be expected), probably due to analogization with the rest of the forms.
