south

ömyu : south

The Tarijan word for south is ömyu.

How I came up with this word:
Ömyu is a mixture of the transliterated word for south in Mongolian which is ömnö (өмнө), and the transliterated word for south in Russian which is yug (юг).

There is another Mongolian word for south, urd (урд).
