Праалтайский: *t`ĕma ( ~ -o)
Англ. значение: net string, net needle
Значение: веревка сети, игла для сети
Комментарии: Most sources indicate that the root was used as a fishing term (either a string in the net or a needle for the net). Morphologically cf. the match between PT *temen and Manchu temene ~ temun.
