WORD HISTORY:
Halm-This word, also spelled "haulm," is distantly related through Indo European to "calamari." It goes back to Indo European "kolehmos," which meant "reed;" thus also, "grain shaft, stem, stalk."  This gave Old Germanic "halma," with the same meanings.^ This gave Old English (Anglo-Saxon) "healm," meaning, "stalk of a plant, straw." This then became "halm." At some point, the word also took on the meaning "part of a horse collar or harness," but why is unclear. German has "Halm," meaning, "stem/stalk of a plant, straw," but which is also often used as a shortened form of "Trinkhalm;" that is, "drinking straw"), Low German "Halm," meaning, "plant stem or stalk," Dutch "halm," meaning "plant stalk or stem," Icelandic "hálmur," meaning, "straw," Danish, Norwegian and Swedish "halm," all meaning, "straw." English also has the term "culm" for "the hollow stalk of a flowering cereal plant," but this is a term pretty much confined to botanists. It is from Latin "culmus," meaning, "plant stalk," which Latin borrowed from Greek and which has the same Indo European ancestor as English "halm/haulm."  

^ The Germanic pronunciation emphasized the "h" sound, while Greek, which also had a form of the word, emphasized the "k."
