Proto-Altaic: *sằmù
Meaning: tar, soot, fumigation
Russian meaning: деготь, сажа; окуривание
Comments: Phonetically a good match, but otherwise not quite reliable: if the Turkic parallel is to be removed as a late loanword, the semantic match between 'fumigation' in TM and 'charcoal' in Japanese becomes less convincing.
