1. genitive singular of шум (šum)

Serbo-Croatian

Etymology

Probably related to шу̑м (“noise, buzz”). A parallel may then be drawn to the onomatopoeic origin of Proto-Slavic *gajь (“forest”).

Otherwise, according to P. Skok,^[1] the term may alternatively be of paleo-Balkan origin (Illyrian or Thracian); he draws connection with Albanian proshëm (“wood”).
