Where this word comes from

Sveamål, deriative of bummel + -ing (cf. bumlare) with the same basic sense. Potentilly a deriative of the sound bom (“boom”) via falling cliff boulders. Another idea would be a relation to dialectal Swedish pumla (“glass ball, knob”), English pommel, from a surface analysis, to a root for “lump”. Compare dialectal knoling, knöling (“nugget; pommel”), derivative of knöl (“lump”).
