Proto-Brythonic
Etymology
From Latin cumulus. The lack of lenition on the m is problematic; one would have expected *kuβ̃(u)l. GPC suggests that, like French comble, it comes from a Vulgar Latin *cumblus from *cumlus, syncopated from cumulus, and not directly from cumulus itself.[1]
Noun
*kuml m
- cloud (visible mass of water droplets)
Descendants
- Breton: koumoul
- Cornish: kommol
- Middle Welsh: cwmwl
- Welsh: cwmwl
