göm

Göm is a Turkish verb form closely associated with burial and concealment. It is the stem that appears in the verb gömmek, which means to bury or inter. The full infinitive is gömmek, and göm functions as a stem in various conjugations and can occur in the imperative mood to express a direct command related to burial or interment.

Etymologically, göm- derives from a Turkic root connected with interment and concealment. In Turkish, related lexical items include gömü (burial or interment) and gömülü (buried or embedded), which share the same semantic field as gömmek. Göm is thus best understood as a morphological form rather than a standalone lexical item in modern Turkish, appearing as part of larger verb forms rather than independently.

In usage, göm appears primarily within the broader verb system around gömmek. It may be encountered in historical or literary contexts where burial rites, interment, or concealment are described, but in contemporary Turkish the word is typically seen as a component of conjugated forms rather than as a free-standing word.
