Etymology
From Proto-Katuic *hoom, from Proto-Mon-Khmer. Cognate with Bahnar hum, Khasi sum, Muak Sa-aak sum³, Mal ʔəm, Mon ဟုံ, Sa'och huːm, Tho [Cuối Chăm] ʔʌm¹, Vietnamese tắm, Santali ᱩᱢ (um).
Katuic, Bahnaric, Mon, Pearic have *h- for this word; Khasian, Palaungic, some Vietic (including Viet-Muong) point to *s-; Munda, Khmuic and the rest of Vietic point to zero consonant. See also palhôm (“pulse, habit”), caheip (“centipede”), aham (“blood”) for some more cases of difficult-to-interpret variations within Austroasiatic branches.
