The expected reflex would have been ''*šamburda'' (which exists in dialects) but the second half of the word was influenced by the name of the preceding month, ''{{wl-lfv|buhda}}'', and thus replaced because of folk etymology. The two names are etymologically unrelated. | From {{Proto|Laenkean|kʰjabʱmwujztʼas}}, from {{Proto|Laenkean|kʰjabʱ-|noname=true}} {{hint|horn}} and {{Proto|Laenkean|mwujz-|noname=true}} {{hint|to bellow}}, referring to the time when animals with antlers (i.e. horns), such as deer, are mating and producing bellowing sounds.
