I found two words in WILD GAME by Adrienne Brodeur.
1. mung – “Ben plucked off some bits of brown mung as he rolled his end of the net toward me.”
I’m not sure what the author meant here – if you know, please fill me in. The only definition I could find of mung is a small, round green bean and the plant it grows on and that doesn’t work in this sentence.

2. seiche – “Up, up, up I went, as if a whole ocean had been sucked up to form a rogue seiche.”
A seiche is a standing wave in an enclosed or partially enclosed body of water.

I know mung bean, I’ve seen it in a lot of recipes.
No idea.
Online dictionary defines mung as: “something disgusting or offensive, especially filth or muck.” I guess that’s it. Source: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/mung
I guess my word today is “curry” as in the second episode of the new Ugly Delicious season on Netflix!

I only know mung as a bean because I, believe it or not, love mung bean pasta and eat it all the time! I hope it’s not the same mung as in your reference, LOLOL
I echo what Mary said!
That would be no and no.

Mae’s definition of “mung” seems correct for its use in that sentence. It’s a good word, and it even sounds like its meaning.
