"etymology_text": "From Old Japanese. Found in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE.\nThe ultimate derivation remains unclear. The term occasionally appears in texts from the Heian period (794–1185 CE) with the phonetic spelling mumashi (in the classical terminal form), suggesting a possible pronunciation of */mmasi/ with an emphasized initial /mm/ sound, similar to the reconstructed readings for 馬 (*mma, “horse”) and 梅 (*mme, “plum”). The resulting reconstructed adjective stem of *mma- could indicate a derivation from onomatopoeia; compare English mmm as an expression of approval for something tasty.\nAlternatively, umai is listed in some sources as perhaps deriving from verb 熟む (umu, “to ripen, to become ripe”). There is a derived compound term where the meaning is clearly from the adjective, and the spelling uses the 熟 kanji from the verb. However, the verb does not appear in historical sources with an emphatic initial /mm/, and it seems to be cognate with 膿む (umu, “to fester, to become pussy, to produce pus”, intransitive), possibly also with 生む, 産む (umu, “to bear, to give birth to; to produce”, transitive).\nReconstructed by Samuel Martin as Proto-Japonic *ma-.",

"etymology_text": "From Old Japanese. Found in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE.\nThe ultimate derivation remains unclear. The term occasionally appears in texts from the Heian period (794–1185 CE) with the phonetic spelling mumashi (in the classical terminal form), suggesting a possible pronunciation of */mmasi/ with an emphasized initial /mm/ sound, similar to the reconstructed readings for 馬 (*mma, “horse”) and 梅 (*mme, “plum”). The resulting reconstructed adjective stem of *mma- could indicate a derivation from onomatopoeia; compare English mmm as an expression of approval for something tasty.\nAlternatively, umai is listed in some sources as perhaps deriving from verb 熟む (umu, “to ripen, to become ripe”). There is a derived compound term where the meaning is clearly from the adjective, and the spelling uses the 熟 kanji from the verb. However, the verb does not appear in historical sources with an emphatic initial /mm/, and it seems to be cognate with 膿む (umu, “to fester, to become pussy, to produce pus”, intransitive), possibly also with 生む, 産む (umu, “to bear, to give birth to; to produce”, transitive).\nReconstructed by Samuel Martin as Proto-Japonic *ma-.",
