Etymology
No etymology is suggested.
It is possible that a Semitic root such as qūm, “to arise,” may make sense. Even the Arabic kom, “hill, rubble heap, tell,” appears possible (RFS). However, see the introduction for an explanation of the difficulty of assigning Semitic etymologies to Jaredite names.
Unlikely is the suggestion that it might be from Old Akkadian kamājum, “to bind, capture (always with persons as objects)” (Gelb, 146) (JAT).
COM (and KIM). From “Kum” and “Koom,” “meaning to arise, to stand up,” “applied to a hill, a height.” Reynolds, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, VI, p. 46.
