Etymology 2 edit
From an earlier Munt, from Middle High German and Old High German munt, from Proto-Germanic *mundō.
The retention of /d/ in the combination /nd/ is a signature of northern High German dialects and only becomes widespread after a period in the Middle Ages where the southern reflex /nt/ is favoured in southern writings.
Noun edit
Mund f (genitive Mund, plural Munde)
Usage notes edit
- Due to conflation with the masculine noun, combined nouns based on this one are also masculine.
