mews
I learned this word when I moved to London. I had never heard of it before. What I learned was that it meant an alley or small street along which the stables were found, generally behind the actual residences. Maybe it corresponds to "lane" in American English. It was extended to mean a small road or street. I've never heard it used to mean residential buildings so if that meaning exists it certainly isn't the primary meaning of "mews".
My intuition tells me that it has nothing to do with cat sounds and should not be included in the entry for mew = miolar
