Not a possible Kash word. Due to r-metathesis, it would have to be
_mombron_ (-rm- > **/-mr-/ > [-mbr-]). Doubt that I will use it, as it
sounds like it might be pejorative in some way, which would not be Nice.
The /o/s suggest it could be a loan from Gwr (?**mr m1N) and heaven knows
what naughty~evil meaning it might have in that language.
