оймс

Mongolian

Etymology

From Proto-Mongolic *hoimasun. Compare Karakhanid اُيما‎ (uymā/oymā, “felt boots”), perhaps derived from Proto-Turkic *uj- (“to squeeze”), the possible source of Kazakh ұйық (uyıq, “sock”) and other similar modern Turkic words [1] if not from *uguk. [2]
More distant comparisons include Manchu ᡶᠣᠮᠣᠴᡳ (fomoci, “felt stocking”) and Proto-Samoyedic *pajmå (“boot”) (usually derived from Proto-Turkic *baĺmak (“shoe, slipper”)).
Features the -с (-s) formant.
