Bukom is actually a GA word originally to be “Bu Ko” meaning a certain hole. Bu in GA is hole , now it’s believed that many years ago the people who settled on the land discovered a hole (More like a Wall). And tried it all to cover it including damping stones , rubbish anything to achieve that as people where falling into it and the settlers where losing Precious items into it. So when you where send around that locality you will be told go to the Bu ko , in order words around the hole.
