Comments: VEWT 183. Räsänen compares also Küär. jam-ɨɣ 'zubereitetes Leder' (R 3, 308) - which is possible if the original meaning was "a large vessel for tanning skins". One can also mention Yak. sɨma 'large leather bag' (Пек. 2, 2455 suggests borrowing < Russ. сума, but in that case *sɨmā would be expected). turcet-prnum,turcet-meaning,turcet-rusmean,turcet-chg,turcet-uzb,turcet-krg,turcet-reference,

Comments: There are some indications in Turkic and TM that the root in question denoted a big vessel for tanning skins; in the Eastern area, however, it is also used for a boat or part of a boat (with a natural transition 'vessel' > 'boat').
