moosa

Hopi

Etymology

Perhaps from Proto-Uto-Aztecan *musa (“wildcat”) (compare Classical Nahuatl miztli (“puma”)), with the meaning shifted to "domestic cat" under the influence of Spanish mizo (“(domestic) cat”) (resulting in the empty semantic space for "wildcat" being filled by the Ute loanword tokotsi).[1]

Noun

moosa

domestic cat (animal)
