Etymology edit

Almost certainly an additive compound of 𒐊 (i₂ /⁠i⁠/, five) +‎ 𒈫 (min, two). Now mostly read umin. The /u/ in umin is due to analogy with the initial sound of 𒐍 (ussu, eight, 8). The form umum is due to vowel harmony.

Alternative forms of
/umin/
𒐅 (imin₂, umun₈)

Numeral edit

𒐌 (imin /umin/ or transliteration needed /umun/)

  1. seven, 7
  2. (poetic) many, all
