<h4 id="how-is-the-name-pronounced">How is the name pronounced?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-is-the-name-pronounced" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h4>
<p>There are some disagreements about how to pronounce the name. Webster's has it as muh-hout (as in <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mahout">"out"</a>), but the Sanskrit/Hindi origins pronounce it as "muh-hoot". The second pronunciation suggests a nice pun on the Hebrew word מהות meaning "essence or truth".</p>
