I challenge anybody to find some other word that matches so well in
all the world languages. I tried with the "nose", and it doesn't fit at
all. I noticed that Slavs and Germanic people match with the word
"nose", but all the other languages are not even close. https://www.indifferentlanguages.com/words/mom
"Dad" is also pretty similar, bat it has variable forms, like "papa",
"tata", baba". It was probably the second word, :) . "Sister" matches
only here and there, "brother" even less.

It mentions Finnish "äiti" (from Gothic) but not "emo" (from Proto-Uralic).

        Thanks. Estonians have "ema".

BTW, I see you are interested in this. Right now I am involved in one
conversation about "a" and "h". A lot of basic communication style, not-yet-words, but more expressing different emotions or just some basic
vocal communication revolves around "a" and "h". "Ah, "ha", huh!",
"huh?" (the same thing only the pitch is different), "a-ha", pitch goes
up when you make a question, and goes down for answer, or exclamation
(see the first video below). "H" i produced by 'making sure lots of air
coming out of there' (as said in the second video below). I would
suggest that "ma" originates in "mah", "m" - holding your breath, "a" -
open mouth, "h" - 'making sure lots of air coming out of there' (see the
third video below). This situation is when you dive for shellfish (the
only meat a primate can eat raw, and it is already salty in sea), and
then you dive out:

Maybe to add some other non-word communication, mostly used. "Hmmm..."
(doubt). Then you add "y", "hey", "yeah". All revolve around "h".

Mama, as it's the universal sound a baby does to get milk from the mother. Papa/baba, maybe it sounds "harder" than mom, to differentiate it.
