妻つま
Wikipedia has an article on:

Tu (2018) suggests it is from 姥うば (MC muX), which was ultimately derived from 母はは (OC *mɯʔ, “mother”). The usage of 姥うば (“old woman”) to refer to "wife" parallels that of 翁おう (“old man”) to refer to "husband" in Min Nan.

Cognate with Teochew 𡚸 (bhou2), Eastern Min 𡚸 (muō).
