Altaic: *mi̯óńù

Uralic: Sam. *m[u]ńV 'belly'

Dravidian: *mun- (? + SDr *monc- 'breast' (Lallwort)')

References: ND 1425 *mEn̄V 'front' (Drav. + IE *men- 'protrude' + some Cush., Chad.). It seems that IE *men- is a single root after all, uniting *men- 'protrude' (Lat. -mineō etc., *mon(t)- 'mountain' and *ment- 'chin'; here also Hitt. meni-, mena- 'face, cheek', menahhanda 'before, in front'). The reconstruction ND 1448 *mowE[ń]V 'intestines, belly' is based on a non-existing Alt. root. (Sam. + TM *mōmańa + Cush.), and arbitrarily separated from ND 1449 *mEʔawuńV 'breast, chest, heart' (based on an incorrect TM reconstruction)...
