This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (moʼ "turn up face, look up"), and not mentioned by Luce 1981. Sort of looks like it could be derived from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *mraŋ (“to see”), albeit not a direct and unchanged inheritance.”
