### Etymology

(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)

### Noun

omena (uncountable)
* In Kenya, small fish dried and milled into flour.
** 1986, Hunger Notes: A Newsletter of World Hunger Education Service:The women grow maize, beans, peas and sorghum, and are particularly happy with weaning foods taught by the Agricultural Extension staff because these foods are within their reach physically and economically: maize and bean flour, sorghum and pea flour, or flour from maize and omena (the omena fish is easily gotten from Lake Victoria).
** 1988, Ruth K. Oniang'o, Feeding the Child, page 99:Well dried tiny fish (omena) can be mixed with grain such as maize or millet and milled into flour. The flour should be prepared in amounts which should not be kept for longer than 2 weeks since it is likely to go bad. The dried omena can also be prepared into powder separately and this can be added in spoonfuls to the food during preparation.
** 1986, Miriam S. Chaiken, Traditional Patterns and Modern Dilemmas: Designing Locally Appropriate Health Interventions:However local people recognize that the omena should preferably be eaten shortly after drying. They report that if the omena becomes too old the taste becomes bitter, so they tend to purchase omena only in the quantities which can be used up quickly.

### Etymology

Unknown. Often thought to derive from Proto-Finnic *omëna, but the only certain cognates with this form are Ingrian omena and Karelian omena. Estonian õun and Livonian umārz are also often thought to be related, but the words cannot go back to a common protoform. A theory posits that the word is borrowed from an Indo-Iranian language (compare Yidgha [script needed] (åmuno), [script needed] (amun, “apple”)).
