==Etymology==
''Ormå'' comes from Ancient Ormå ''ormorri'', a term referring to a tundra that is naturally protected from harsher winds by some other geographical feature, typically hills. ''ormorri'' may come from Proto-Ulmic ''*olmuy'', "silence", which would make Pêrsir ''ulmii'', "volume", cognate with ''ormorri''.

Demonstrative pronouns in Ormå are placed after the noun and fall into three categories: '''adjacent'''(next to something), '''near''' and '''far'''. For example, ''thåsk khe'' means "the rock next to <nowiki>[me]</nowiki>", ''skydje nhus'' means "these two bulbs" and ''mittäfyr käller'' means "those rivers (over there)".
