Which origin word for the Ferula word
They say in about 🇨🇬 whence 🇨🇬 that it “has no doubt a Sanskrit etymology”. I understood this as for  (which is much used now) instead as seems to be a compound, like  whence 🇨🇬,  being the galbanum. But I have given up searching its Sanskrit word. (oh well, nobody else to ping on Sanskrit 🙁, and nobody in ) Fay Freak (talk) 20:03, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * It does not look like a Sanskrit etymon to me. The word refers to various plants and  means a lotus and this is the closest कुम/कम have come in terms of having a botanical meaning. -- Bhagadatta (talk) 02:59, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

κόμμι “gum”
Given the wide distribution of the Ancient Greek word for – which  shows by its ending that it is from Egyptian –, this can safely be considered one way or the other from it; the family of the Persian word is thus established, though the exact borrowing paths might remain doubted; I opt for Aramaic since it was between the Greek and Persian language areas in the era in question and the vocalization and the ending also of the Amharic fits unto it, as well as the mere possibility of it reaching Ethiopia which is most easily via Aramaic, as many other words. The meaning connection is via various abortificient gums. Fay Freak (talk) 20:15, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
