German

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

19th century, from an Alemannic German or Austro-Bavarian dialect. Possibly from an inherited form of Middle High German mūl + the diminutive suffix -li. Alternatively from Italian mulo with its plural muli associated with that suffix. Ultimately from Latin mulus, whence also Maultier.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ˈmuːli/
  • Audio:(file)
  • Audio (Austria):(file)

Noun

[edit]

Muli n (strong, genitive Mulis, plural Mulis or (rare or southern) Muli)

  1. mule (hybrid offspring of a donkey and horse)

Usage notes

[edit]
  • The word serves as an umbrella term for Maultier and Maulesel, but the former of these may also be used as such in common speech.
