Etymology
By metathesis from mogila, from Proto-Slavic *mogyla (“burial mound”). An alternative proposed etymology takes the metathesized form as primary and so derives gomila from a Proto-Slavic *gomyla, perhaps with influence from *gomolь, *gomola (“lump, pile”); see the etymology notes at gòmolj and Proto-Slavic *mogyla.
