PTung. *xumu- upside down (ничком, вверх дном): Evk. umuskī; Evn. umuskī; Neg. umne-pkī; Man. umusixun; Ul. xumesi; Ork. xumusei; Nan. xumesi; Orch. umse-.
◊ ТМС 2, 272. Tungus forms with *k- (see ТМС 1, 431) may be borrowed from Mongolian (cf. Kalm. kömtr-) or influenced by Mongolian forms, see Doerfer MT 74.
PMong. *kömeri- to fall, turn upside down (переворачивать(ся) вверх дном): WMong. kömeri-, kömüri- (L 487); Kh. xömrö-; Bur. xümeri-; Kalm. kömr- (КРС); Ord. kömör-; Dag. kumrē-bəi-, (Тод. Даг. 151) kumuri-; Dong. komoru-; S.-Yugh. kömör-; Mongr. komori- (SM 213), kumorə-.
◊ MGCD 373. Mong. > Kirgh. kömör- etc. (see ЭСТЯ 5, 101-102).
PTurk. *Kām- 1 to throw, strike down 2 to move, walk (1 кидать 2 двигаться, ходить): OTurk. qam- (OUygh.) 1; Karakh. qam- ‘to lower’ (MK); MTurk. qam- ‘to lower’ (MN); Chuv. xъₙm- ‘махать, замахиваться’; Yak. xāmp- 2; Dolg. kām- 2.
◊ VEWT 228, EDT 625; Stachowski 142. The connection of OT qam- and Yak. qāmp- is rather problematic, but possible (we are not aware of other etymologies). For the Yak. word cf. perhaps Bur. xambɨ ‘packtrain, caravan’.
