Lexically in OIr. ''cóim'', ''cóem'', MW ''cu'', OBret. ''cum'', Co. ''cuf''  'dear, beloved' < PIE *''k̑oi̯mo''- 'homely, familiar' from the root *''k̑ei̯''- 'lie down' according to {{bib|IEW}}: 540 (see also {{bib|LEIA}}: C-7, {{bib|Matasović 2009}}: 220). In Continental Celtic onomastics, the word is probably attested in a few names in ''koim''- and ''koem''-, e.g. {{bib|AE}} 1987: 381 {{tr|lat|coimia}} (Aljustrel), {{bib|CIL}} II 2788 {{tr|lat|coemea}} (Clunia Sulpicia), III 3792 {{tr|lat|coemo}} (Ig), 3792 {{tr|lat|coemonius}} (Ig), though it has to be said that the distribution of these names is quite marginal in Celtic terms (Iberian peninsula, Britain, Pannonia). See {{bib|AcS}} I: 1061, {{bib|Delamarre 2007}}: 69, 217, {{bib|Meid 2005}}: 191.
