==Manx==

===Etymology===
From {{inh|gv|sga|mór}}.

===Pronunciation===
* {{IPA|gv|[muːr]|[muːɹ̝]|[muːə̯]|[muː]}}

The pronunciations [muːɹ̝], [muːə̯], and [muː] are due to English influence as perhaps is [muːr] with [uː] rather than [uə] (which is not [[phonemic]] in English). The spelling ''mooar'' possibly suggests a traditional pronunciation of [muəɾ] like the Munster {{cog|ga|muar}}, a by-form of {{cog|ga|mór}}.
