This Slavic base type is already attested in the same form in Old Church Slavonic (cf. Cyrillomethodiana, under гѹмьно). In today's Slavic standard languages, its reflexes are found in hbs. gúmno 'place for threshing grain', rus. gumnó 'ground for threshing grain', ces. humno 'hardened ground in the barn for threshing grain', pol. gumno 'building where grain is stored before threshing; part of the barn, hard ground on which grain is threshed; farm with an economic building'. In Proto-Slavic, the word *gumьnȍ is said to have had the meaning 'room where grain is threshed'. The base type is derived from the ine. root *gu̯ou̯- 'cattle' and *menH- 'to tread, stamp, dawdle'. Hence, Proto-Slavic *gumьnȍ meant 'space where grain is trampled by cattle' (cf. SNOJ, under gúmno).
