Borrowed from Pali [Term?].

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “MED gives the Burmese script for the Pali as သောမော (somo). What does this romanize to, "somo" (which isn't mentioned in the DSAL Pali dictionary)? Is this somma (“pleasing, agreeable”), itself from Sanskrit सौम्य (saumya, “soma-like, auspicious”)?”
