nounmasculinea-stemsteam, vaporsmoke or reek rising from heat or fireProbably from pre-Germanic *h₁óy-mo-s, an o-grade *-mo- noun to an otherwise poorly attested Proto-Indo-European root *h₁ey- of uncertain meaning, perhaps ‘heat, give off vapor/smoke’. Kroonen 2013: 11 takes Old Norse neuter īm as internal evidence for *h₁ey-, making the older derivation from *h₂eydʰ- much less likely. There are no secure IE cognates. A relationship with PIE root *h₂eydʰ- seems plausible, just not possible as a direct origin. Comparisons with Hittite 𒄿𒉡𒍣 from PIE *h₁eh₃y-Kloekhorst 2008: 165–66 are incompatible with the North Germanic forms in *īm-. Related to *aimuzjǭ.
