корчма/crâşmă

[Wilkinson, C]

An online version of Fasmer's Etymological Dictionary
(http://vasmer.narod.ru/p312.htm) calls it a "dark word" and lists
both old Slavonic and German as possible roots. In addition it
mentions that a root in Finno-Ugric has been suggested, but considers
this "risky" .
