Tamil : moympu
Tamil meaning : shoulder
Malayalam : muẓippu
Malayalam meaning : shoulder
Kannada : muy, muy(i)vu, muyibu, muḍupu, muḍuhu

Tulu : muḍu
Tulu meaning : shoulder joint
Proto-Nilgiri : *mūḍ
Miscellaneous : KURU (LSB 1.11) mirpu shoulder
Notes : A complicated case. The forms can be traced back to *moj- (Tamil, half of the Kannada forms) or to *muḍ- (Kota, Tulu, the second half of Kannada forms). Malayal. muṛippu is < *muḍippu through contamination with muṛi joint. These two groups of forms are probably unrelated, although the possibility of relation cannot be included. It should be noted that there is a whole 'family' of words with the structure *muṛ-, *muḍ-, *muṭ-, etc., with the meaning 'joint, knot', etc., so it would be hard to make any final judgement.
