Etymology 1

edit

simp. #

Schuessler (2007) suggests that this is an endoactive derivation from (OC *qɯːm, “mute; silent”).

Ultimately from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-ʔum ~ *mum (to hold in mouth; to chew; to eat; to kiss); compare Tibetan ཨུམ (um, kiss) (STEDT; Benedict, 1972; Coblin, 1986; Schuessler, 2007).

Pronunciation

edit

Note: The zero initial /∅-/ is commonly pronounced with a ng-initial /ŋ-/ in some varieties of Cantonese, including Hong Kong Cantonese.
