Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ʌm/

Albanian
Etymology
Uncertain. Possibilities include:
- Borrowed from Vulgar Latin, from the nominative of Latin vōmis, vōmeris (“ploughshare”),[1][2] though the phonetical evolution is not regular.[3]
- Borrowed from Vulgar Latin, from Latin humus (“earth, soil”),[3] though it is difficult to reconcile semantically.
In both cases, the final /b/ would be unetymological.
