{Sung Hol} "native('s) language"
{mung Hol} "origin language"
This may be because of my English, but to me an "origin language" sounds
etymological. E.g. Latin being the origin or predecessor of the Romance
languages (Italian, Spanish, Romanian, etc.), Indo-European being the
predecessor of Latin; Northwest Semitic being the predecessor of Canaanite,
Ugaritic, Hebrew, etc.; and so on. (*Ursprache* in German?)
