词汇 | ummern |
词源 | ummern; dummern. Words often take on almost unrecog- nizable forms in remote places. A century ago, for example, the scholar Horace Kephart found that “the word woman has suf- fered some strange sea-changes” in the North Carolina Appala- chians. There, in Mitchell County, he heard “the extraordinary forms ummern and dummern” for woman. |
