The Gallo-Roman type mŭlgēre 'to milk' has largely been replaced by lat. trahěre 'to pull' (cf. Georges under traho). This is often attributed to homophony which resulted from the phonetic merging of the subsequent forms lat. molěre 'to grind' and fro., frm. moudre (cf. FEW 6, 198-200, under mŭlgēre).
