\data\alt\altet
Proto-Altaic: *i̯úmu
Meaning: a k. of fruit or berry
Russian meaning: вид плода или ягоды
Comments: The Jpn. word is usually derived from Middle Chinese moj 'plum', but the problem here is the same as in the word for 'horse' (see *ènŋù ): inexplicable initial u- in Japanese. The matches in TM and Turkic may provide an alternative Altaic explanation of Jpn. *úmái. Proto-Altaic: *i̯umu
Meaning: to help, gather
Russian meaning: помогать, собирать(ся)
Comments: A reliable common Altaic root; a small problem is fronted *im- instead of the expected *ɨm- in Turkic.
