Notes on declension:
This stem declines with nasalation of /k/, according to Schultz-Lorentzen (1951), even though the final vowel originally is /i/, rather than /ə/, according to the CED, so I have decided to record it as /ə/. It may be because of influence from {mamək}N. Schultz-Lorentzen (1951) also records the unmarked ergative forms mumingup, mumingit, but today, this stem is apparently only used with possessive endings; i.e. muminga.
