Where this word comes from

Thought to be from mbili (“two”) + kimo (“height”). Walsh quotes Rebmann: "literally the two-measuring, i.e. twice the measure from the middle finger to the elbow, which of course is an exaggeration, but they are no doubt a diminutive race of men." Tucker suggests from Arabic بِلَا قِيمَة (bilā qīma, “without stature”).
