сүмс

Mongolian

Alternative forms

  • сүүмс (süüms), сөмс (söms)

Etymology

Seemingly not found in modern languages other than Khalkha, but attested in a 19th century dictionary and in Manchu ᠰᡠᠮᡠᠰᡠ (sumusu, “soup, cereal gruel”).

Contains a native Mongolic suffix +‎ -с (-s), making derivation from Manchu improbable.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /sums/
