I got "ombo" rides from my Grandfather. What is the etymology of "ombo" which
does not appear in standard dictionaries?

Etmyology of "ombo"
The _ombo_ word you remember is almost certainly from Japanese 負{お}んぶ ( _ombu_
: "to carry piggyback"). This comes from older 負{お}ぶう ( _obuu_ ), which in
turn appears to be the continuous / repetitive form of classical 負{お}ふ ( _ofu_
, ancient _opu_ "to put on one's back"; modern form 負{お}う, _ou_ ).
