Etymology

[edit]

Originally the past participle of the verb jumt (to cover a roof; to thatch), from Proto-Baltic *jumt, from Proto-Indo-European *yew-, *yū- (to bind, to tie), with an extra m. Primitive houses were covered by tied, interwoven sticks on which rested a mud covering. Cognates include Proto-Slavic *jǫtъ (roof) (cf. Russian прию́т (prijút, shelter, retreat)).[1]
