Etymology

Causative form of *umnï-.

Compare with Proto-Mongolic *umta- (“to sleep; forget”), *umarta- (“to sleep; forget”), Proto-Tungusic *omŋa- (“to forget”), Proto-Uralic *wune- (“to forget”). Whence Finnish unohtaa (“to forget”), Mongolian умартах (umartax, “to forget”) and Even омӈа- (omŋa-, “to forget”). (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?)

Reconstruction notes

It seems the reflexes of /m/ only appears in Oghur, Kipchak and Siberian.
