Latin derived word in the form of "mossels" </span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">specially for mussels, I guess
that's the same in Afrikaans? It's the</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">favorite food of my

<div><font><font face="Courier New"><span>GRIMM as
well as you do sees the origin in Latin 'musculus' (which letterly should
be translated as 'little mouse') but I think it is derived from Latin 'scala',
meaning G: 'Schale', E: 'shell' (hull). Have a look at D: 'Scholekster'
('oyster-catcher', G: 'Austernfischer') and the German word 'Schalentier'
(crustaceum)- for my opinion here we clearly see the true
relations.</span></font></font></div>

<div><font><font face="Courier New"><span>The prefix
'mos-/mus-' perhaps could denote something like G: 'Moos' (E: 'moss', Latin:
'muscus') because of the green algae which shells often are covered
with.</span></font></font></div>
