сүмс

Mongolian edit

Alternative forms edit

сүүмс (süüms), сөмс (söms)

Etymology edit

Seemingly not found in modern languages other than Khalkha, but attested in a 19th century dictionary and in Manchu ᠰᡠᠮᡠᠰᡠ (sumusu, “soup, cereal gruel”).

Contains a native Mongolic suffix +‎ -с (-s), making derivation from Manchu improbable.
