colmo

See also: colmó and colmò

Galician

a Galician palloza house, with thatched roof (teito de colmo)

Etymology

13th century. Probably from Latin culmus (“thatch”), although the open stressed vowel found in some regions and the derived term colmea (“beehive”) suggest the influence of a pre-Roman substrate of Iberia *kŏlmos; ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱolh₂mos.[1] Cognate with Asturian cuelmu.

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /ˈkɔlmo̝/, /ˈkolmo̝/

Noun

colmo m (plural colmos)

thatch (usually the stalks of rye and wheat)
