Etymology
No etymology is suggested.
Whatever fauna CUMOMS were, three criteria delimit the English possibilities: they were especially useful to the JAREDITES, they were indigenous to JAREDITE 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 CUMOMS are bears because they show these characteristics (Reynolds, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, VI, p. 145).
Cf. Book of Mormon COM, CUMORAH, et al.
