Mourmoura
IPA
/ˈmurmuɾa/

From Ancient Greek μορμύρος mormýros (striped seabream) ↳ Origin uncertain; Strömberg derives it from μορμύρω mormýrō (to roar, to boil), reading the fish as the bubble-blower, while Beekes does not dismiss a Pre-Greek substrate origin ↳ The connection with μύρω mýrō (to flow, trickle) is not convincing

Striped seabream, sand-dwelling

Lent to: Mırmır
