 | | The name of the Mohe also appears as "Maka" in "Shin-Maka" (Japanese 新靺鞨, しんまか) or "New Mohe," the name of a dance and the musical piece that accompanies it, which was introduced to the Japanese court during the Nara Period or around the beginning of the Heian Period from the Balhae Kingdom. |
 | | In modern Japanese historical texts, the name of the Mohe is annotated with the "kana" reading Makkatsu (まっかつ), which is probably a reading pronunciation based on the standard Sino-Japanese readings of the Chinese characters used to transcribe the ethnonym of the Mohe. |
 | | The ethnonym of the Mohe bears a notable resemblance to that of the later historically attested Wùjí (勿吉, Sino-Korean 물길 Mulgil, Sino-Japanese もっきつ Mokkitsu), as well as to that of the medieval Merkits, who opposed the rise of the Mongols lead by Genghis Khan. |
