algum|ˈælgʌm|
[Heb. algūm, a foreign word; see quot.]
A tree mentioned in the Bible (2 Chron. ii. 8), also called erroneously (1 Kings x. 11) almug, said to have been brought from Ophir; variously surmised to be a species of acacia, cedar, or cypress, but probably a kind of sandalwood.
1578Bible (Genev.) 2 Chron. ii. 8 Send mee also cedar trees, firre trees, and Algummim trees.1611ibid., Algume trees.1721Bailey, Algum or Almug.1873Max Müller Sc. Lang. I. 232 The algum-tree..is supposed to be the sandal-wood-tree..One of the numerous names for this tree in Sanscrit is valguka. This valguka, which points back to a more original form valgu, might easily have been corrupted by Phœnician and Jewish sailors into algum, a form, as we know, still further corrupted, at least in one passage of the O.T., to almug. Sandal-wood is found indigenous in India only, and there chiefly on the coast of Malabar.
