⟨ko2ma⟩ → */koma//koma/

From Old Japanese. As phonetic evidence, appears in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE.[1]

May be a Baekje ethnonym. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

Alternatively, may be a Goguryeo word or name, given the history of the Koma clan, Goguryeo migrants to Eastern Honshū during the 660s.
