“CALUMARE. Att. Term. di Marina. Allentare, Fare scorrere a poco a p???, detto di funi; ed anche Tirare lentamente da un luogo a un altro, detto di barche o simili. Forse è affine d'origine a Calare; seppure non viene dal lat. celeusma o celeuma, grec. ???e?sµa, voce con la quale il comito comandava alla ciurma di remare, ed anche il canto de'rematori stessi; senso che ha ritenuto lo spagnuolo calomar. – Ar. Orl. Fur. 19, 53: E caluma la gomona, e fa pruova Di duo terzi del corso ritenere.” [Vocabolario degli Accademici della Crusca, Vol. 2, 1863]
