|lshtext=<b>mūla</b>: ae (<br /><b>I</b> abl. plur. mulabus: [[data]] et vehicula cum mulabus ac mulionibus, [[Capitol]]. Ver. 5; Tert. Uxor. 2, 8; Prisc. p. 733 P.), f. [[mulus]], a she-[[mule]]; also, in gen., a [[mule]] (used [[instead]] of horses for [[drawing]] carriages or [[bearing]] litters): ex asino et equā [[mula]] gignitur, Plin. 8, 44, 69, § 171; Juv. 7, 181.—She-mules [[bear]] no [[young]], Plin. l. l. § 173.

Div. 2, 22, 49; cf. id. ib. 1, 18, 36: hoc [[monstrum]] fetae conparo mulae, Juv. 13, 66.—Hence, prov.: cum [[mula]] peperit, [[when]] a [[mule]] foals, i. e. [[never]], Suet. Galb. 4.
