Etymologies

Category	Explanation
Eponym Person	from Mopsopos (i.e. Mopsopia = Attica named from the figure/place Mopsopos)
Unclear Metalinguistic	The name Μόψοψ is indeclinable (invariable); (note on form/accent)
Morphological Composition	The demonym/citizen is Μοψόπειος formed via the diphthong and the iota; and Μοψοπιεύς (alternate form)
Morphological Composition	Heraclides the Pontic says Μοψοπίτης, and it ought to be Μοψοπιώτης (variant forms of the demonym)
Morphological Composition	Perhaps by the lowering (diminution) of the omega (ω) the feminine is Μοψοπίς (phonetic/formation explanation)
