We all know that adorable mouse Muru. But have you every wondered how he got his name?

I think his name is Latin. It could come from mus, meaning 'mouse.' Or, more probably, it derives from murus, which means 'wall.' This is where we get the word 'mural.' I think it comes from murus because Muru himself turns out to be a cave painting, and he is part of a huge mural on the cave wall.

'You can EDIT the article, did you not know this? Well, I'll go and do that now! EDIT: I've replaced the word annoying with adorable (well, he is kinda cute but his voice!:issedoff and now it is in the right section).

I never honestly thought of Muru's name...To be honest I said "PFFFT! They just came up with that" Guess I was wrong but yes it has a lot of good information and is straight to the point. Nice Job!

'One thing, though? This should be in the WQ articles' Whoops! I knew there was something I had forgotten! I meant it to go to the WQ section.

Kelev	April 24, 2007

Interesting. I find Muru to be very annoying, but that's just me.

Most probably true. Good reasoning. Nice article, I wouldn't have thought to research Muru's Lating roots .

Aleu Wolf Leader -> It should be a moderate lenght, nu? You can always write more. And I do agree with Yupik. But perhaps this is right. But it IS just what you think. XB
