<P align="justify"> The cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus) is one of the tastiest berries growing in the area inhabited by the Saamis. It was the most important of the berries for the Saamis; it was eaten raw and preserved for the winter, and it was added to milk foods, gruels and porridges. It was also puréed into a fish dish called <i>mesto</i>, the other ingredients of which were whitefish, fish fat and fish stock.</p><P align="justify"> The name for this berry in North Saami is <i>luomi</i>. Equivalent forms are also found in all the eastern Saami languages from Inari to Ter. It has been suggested that it is of Scandinavian origin, cf. Old Norwegian <i>blómi</i> a flower and a leaf, a bloom; freshness, lustre, growth.</p> <P align="justify"> The berry has another, more widespread, name which is used throughout the Saami area from South Saami to Ter Saami to refer to a ripe cloudberry. The North Saami form is <i>láttat</i>. It is of the same origin as the words <i>láddat</i> to ripen and <i>láttas</i> ripe, mature . This word therefore probably meant specifically a ripe cloudberry.</p>
