Comments:ЭСТЯ 7, under *majmak 'club-footed', Сетаров 1970. The traditional etymology of Chuv. (Федотов 1, 362, Егоров 134-135) from an unattested Udm. *mu 'earth' + lud keč 'field hare' is quite incredible: the Chuv. form is well explained < *bańɨ-l-kač (a diminutive). {Chuv. may be rather < **bɨńĺ(ɨk) q. v.}
