Finnish

Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *kumpu, probably from Proto-Finno-Permic *kumpe (hillock, tussock), whence also Erzya кумбо (kumbo, hummock), Moksha комба (komba, hump) and Proto-Samic *kompë. Contains a -u suffix which is not seen in the earlier derivation kumpare. The Finnic root has also been compared with Proto-Germanic *humpaz (whence English hump), possibly hinting that it is borrowed from Germanic instead.
