'''Etymology'''

No etymology is suggested.

Whatever fauna '''CUMOMS''' were, three criteria delimit the English possibilities: they were especially useful to the [[JAREDITES|J<small>AREDITES</small>]], they were indigenous to [[JAREDITES|J<small>AREDITE</small>]] America, and, 
it must be assumed, Joseph Smith did not have an English translation for them or he would have rendered it in English. Therefore, whatever etymology is proposed, it must 
meet these three criteria.

Perhaps Akkadian (?) ''kumûm'', “pelican,” or ''hamizo'' (?), “swan” (RFS).

Hebrew, “''kum''” = “rise up, stand up.” Possibly C<small>UMOMS</small> are bears because they show these characteristics (Reynolds, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, VI, p. 145).

Cf. Book of Mormon [[COM|C<small>OM</small>]], [[CUMORAH|C<small>UMORAH</small>]], et al.
