editEtymology
editFrom Proto-Indo-European *h₁él(e)m (“mountain elm”).
Kroonen (2011) regards the variant *ulmaz as evidence of an ablauting paradigm, most likely *elm ~ *ulmaz from an amphikinetic m-stem *h₁él-m̥ ~ *h₁l̥-m-ós (compare *armaz and *halmaz for potentially the same type).[2] However, this lemma is not included in his 2013 dictionary.[3]
