Proto-Korean: *kùmìt
Meaning: hair on temples
Russian meaning: волосы на висках
Modern Korean: kwimit [kuimith]
Middle Korean: kùmìt, kumis

The MKor. variant kui-mit(h), whence modern kwimit, is obviously a result of reinterpreting the word as *kui-mith 'roots of the ears'. koret-prnum,koret-meaning,koret-rusmean,koret-phn,koret-ako,koret-reference,
