Proto-Turkic
Reconstruction
Considering its limited geographical distribution and likely foreign origin, probably not reconstructable to Proto-Turkic proper.
Many languages show secondary sound changes (epenthesis, metathesis or assimilation) which may be irregular, but attested in other words.
Etymology
Most likely from Iranian or Germanic ultimately, see Ossetian хуымӕллӕг (x°ymællæg) and Old Norse humli respectively.
Some sources defend the possibility of native Turkic origin, but the evidence is weak.
