-------------

The correct, but not-often heard, pronunciation is "KUHM-in", rhyming with "summon". The word, as the seed, has its roots in Greek (and even Linear B thousands of years ago) where it then made its way to Latin.

Any reputable dictionary will list this pronunciation first, though most list one and even two others after.
