Comments: VEWT 183. Räsänen compares also Küär. jam-ɨɣ 'zubereitetes Leder' (R 3, 308) - which is possible if the original meaning was "a large vessel for tanning skins". One can also mention Yak. sɨma 'large leather bag' (Пек. 2, 2455 suggests borrowing < Russ. сума, but in that case *sɨmā would be expected).
