But we don't know for sure what musino / u means, nor where it comes from. It does not mean snout or its derivative, because snout in Sardinian is murru or bruncu; however in some parts of the Campidano to define a person "musona", always sullen, we use the term "musino / u" (from Italian or from lat. musus), instead of the Sardinian "brùncu".
