Proto-Altaic: *si̯òmì ( ~ z-)
Nostratic: Nostratic
Meaning: wet snow, hoar-frost
Russian meaning: мокрый снег, иней
Mongolian: *simarga
Tungus-Manchu: *sumu
Japanese: *sìmǝ̀
Comments: The match with Japanese is both phonetically and semantically precise, so the root seems quite reliable (despite sparse attestation in TM).
