What is the Luhya word for mountain?

There isn't a single, universally accepted Luhya word for "mountain".

Here's why:

* Luhya is a language group, not a single language. There are many Luhya dialects, and each may have its own word.

* "Mountain" as a concept might not be as prominent in Luhya culture as in others. The Luhya people primarily live in the western region of Kenya, which is generally flat or rolling hills. There aren't many significant mountains in the area.

However, here are some possible Luhya terms for "mountain" or something similar:

* "Luhumu" (Luyia): This word is sometimes used to refer to a large hill or a place with high ground.

* "Lumbo" (Luyia): This word generally means "hill," but in some contexts, it could be used to refer to a mountain.

* "Luma" (Luyia): This word means "a high place," and it could be used to describe a mountain or hill.

To be more accurate, you'd need to specify which specific Luhya dialect you're interested in.

If you have a particular Luhya dialect in mind, I can try to find a more precise word for "mountain" within that dialect.
