Proto-Finnic
Etymology
From earlier *sumi + *-ëda, possibly borrowed from Proto-Germanic *stum- (whence Faroese stummur (“pitch-black”), Icelandic stum (“dust, rime, fog”)),[1] although it is uncertain whether the Proto-Germanic word even exists with a similar meaning, as opposed to merely *stummaz (“mute”).
Adjective
*sumëda[2]
- foggy
- dim, murky
