Rumma (adj.) [put down (rightly) by Geiger, P.Gr. § 53 as different fr. Sk. rukma (shining); Morris, J.P.T.S. 1893, 12 tried the etym. rumma=Sk. rumra"tawny," oṛ rukma (rukmin) shiny. It is still an unsolved problem. It may not be far off to trace a relation (by miswriting, dissimilation or false analogy) toruppa in sense of ruppati, or to ruj, or even rudda. The C. expln of all the rumma -- & rummin passages is anañjita, i. e.unkempt] miserable, dirty, poorly, in cpds. ˚rūpin J iv.387 (=lūkhavesa C.), with v. l. duma˚; and ˚vāsin poorly dressed J iv.380.
