Etymology

Unknown. Often thought to derive from Proto-Finnic *omëna, but the only certain cognates with this form are Ingrian omena and Karelian omena.[1] Estonian õun and Livonian umārz are also often thought to be related, but the words cannot go back to a common protoform. A theory posits that the word is borrowed from an Indo-Iranian language (compare Yidgha [script needed] (åmuno), [script needed] (amun, “apple”)).

  • IPA(key): /ˈomenɑ/, [ˈo̞me̞nɑ̝]
