Mimi of Decorse
Etymology
The term is superficially similar to Maba(n) *anǯi, but Starostin notes that "the attested isogloss is between Mimi-D and Maba, as opposed to Mimi-D and Maban in general", so it might be a loan; similar terms are used for "rain" in a number of other nearby languages.
Noun
Lua error in Module:parameters at line 360: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "und-mmd" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E.
