"Muna" is "mura" in the CO
mura [cónasc]
más rud é nach, dá mba ea nach (mura bhfuil deifir ort, mura dtiocfá liom, murar bhris tú é; murab ionann iad, murbh éagóir air é).

Isn't 'muna' part of the munster dialect?

Muna and mara are the forms used in Corca Dhuibhne. Breandán Mac Gearailt also uses "mura". |

Mara and mura are mixed in the works of PUL. I believe mara to be the deeper Cork dialectal form, but don't know where I got that from, but current speakers in Muskerry appear to say "mura". |

Mara is the most common form in CD. |
