### Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *lauma, borrowed from Proto-Germanic *flaumaz.

* Rhymes: -ɑumɑ
* Hyphenation: lau‧ma

#### Usage notes

This word is used of groups of most land animals. Exceptions include herded reindeer (tokka) and domesticated lamb and goat (katras). A group of flying or water animals is usually called a parvi (when seen three-dimensionally rather than two-dimensionally). Seals are a border case: usually a group of seals is lauma (seen as two-dimensional) but when in water, especially a small group of seals may be called parvi (seen as three-dimensional).
