Etymology tree substratebor.? Proto-Celtic *kumbā Gaulish *cumbabor. Medieval Latin cumba Spanish comba From Medieval Latin cumba (“valley”), borrowed from Gaulish *cumba, from Proto-Celtic *kumbā. According to Coromines, the term likely passed through Asturleonese or Mozarabic because of the retention of Latin /mb/, with the expected native outcome being *coma. However, this is not universally agreed.
