etymology

[edit]
it is a variation of the word "néma", meaning "does not speak"; often used to describe the condition of being "mute". In this context, the German-speaking person "does not speak" the local language of Hungarian, or alternatively/previously/simultaneously, Slavic, as the word is thought to derive from a Slavic language

If it is from Slavic, then it cannot also be from a Hungarian word néma. —Tamfang (talk) 05:57, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
