n.
also combe, “deep hollow or valley, especially on flank of a hill,” mainly surviving in place names, from Old English cumb, probably a British word, from Celtic base *kumbos (cf. Welsh cwm in same sense). Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names says, “This is usually taken to be a Celtic loan … but there was also OE cumb ‘vessel, cup, bowl,'” which was “probably used in a transferred topographical sense reinforced in western districts by cwm.”
