COMMENTS: The regular change of PSC *b(H)VnKV > Bsq *mukV is convergent with that of some NC languages, e.g. Tabasaran muḳ-ruḳ 'fir tree'. Some Bsq dialects, BNV-Garazi, LAB-Ainhoa, have the word muku 'snot, mucus', which is apparently influenced by, if not borrowed from, Latin mūcum, and the native Bsq and Romance words have blended.
