Finnish

Etymology

From humista +‎ -na.

Noun

humina

  1. whoosh (indistinct sound, like that produced by the wind in the crowns of trees).

Usage notes

The English word hum and Finnish humina sound confusingly close, i.e. they are so called false friends. With the even more similar word humu (“hum”) no such confusion could occur because the semantics are matching too.
