Where this word comes from

Unknown, but related to Northern Sami luopma. Possibly from luoda. Alternatively, according to Rahkonen (2017), possibly borrowed from dialectal Estonian loom (“riverbend”), originally in the sense "bend, draught"; the Estonian word may then derive from Baltic (compare Lithuanian lomà (“lowland, depression”)).
