Etymology edit
Originally meaning "glutton (one who eats a lot)", from Proto-Finnic *ahma. Related to dialectal Estonian ahm, Ingrian ahmo, Karelian ahmo, ahmoi, Ludian ahmo, Votic ahmia (~ ahmia) and more distantly to Northern Sami vuosmmis (from Proto-Samic *vuosvēs). Probably ultimately borrowed from Proto-Indo-Iranian [Term?] (compare Sanskrit अश्मन् (aśman, “eater”)).[1]
The meaning "wolverine" is possibly a calque from other European languages such as German Vielfraß and Latin gulo.
