köken: From Middle Dutch bulte, from Proto-West Germanic *bulti, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰel- (“to blow, inflate, swell”). Cognate with northern German Bult, Bülte.
hummock, hillock (small natural elevation of earth, generally smaller than kukkula (“hill”) and larger than kumpare (“knoll”)) · mound (small, rounded, artificial elevation of earth)
çekim: çoğul kummut · tamlayan kummun
köken: From Proto-Finnic *kumpu, from Proto-Uralic *kumpe (“elevation, hillock”), 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 was earlier compared with Proto-Germanic *humpaz (whence English hump), but their similarity must be regarded as coincidental.
