This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (uṁ "assemble, crowd together"). Luce's comparison with what appears to be Old Chinese 蟄 (OC *dib, “to hibernate, live in seclusion”) is phonetically unconvincing and semantically tenuous (Luce's given gloss of "to cluster", while somewhat connected to "seclusion", isn't quite correct).”
