Nahuatl:
OME: “dual; two”
TEŌ-TL: “divinity”
“Twin gods”
OME: “dual; two”
TECUHTLI: “lord, nobleman”
OME: “two”
CIHUATL: “wife, woman”

Sāmoan:
SIVA: “to dance with accompaniment by song; a song”
Hawaiian:
HIWA: “precious, black (in a desirable sense)”
The "dance" element in this proposed cognate relationship between CIHUATL and SIVA / HIWA is embodied in the Sāmoan concept of FEĀGA'IGA / FEAGAIGA, a tradition of reciprocity between two parties, embodied in the brother-sister relationship which is observed ritually in the Sāmoan SIVA TAUALUGA interplay between 'AIULI and TAUPOU.
These divinities in Nāhuatl are also known as:
Tōnacātēcuhtli and Tonacacihuatl.
TONA: “to be warm; sunny; to shine”
CA: “is; to be”
Twin Shining lord
Twin Shining lady
I believe OMĒ may be a cognate of UMI, which is a synonym of MATA “the point” / “eyes”—of which there are two!
‘UMI (Hawaiian) also means “to suppress, to stifle”… compare with 'OMI / 'O'OMI / 'OMI'OMI (Sāmoan) "to compress with the hands, to stifle"
‘UMI also means “ten (10) fathom space” between two things.
A fathom is the distance between the tips of a man's longest fingers when the arms are spread widely apart to form a level axis on the horizontal plane transverse the vertical axis of the body. This is roughly equivalent to six feet. The main point, however, is that in this context the distance in question stands for the space, or jurisdiction around an individual head of a man, or expanding on this through synecdoche, the dominion of the head of a ruling noble family.
Also, as Rev. Enari pointed out to me in the comments below, an 'Umi is also the overall length of a woven fine mat measured out in gafa.
This is quite possibly a reference to the embrace of Rangi and Papa-Tua-Nuku / Wākea and Papa-Hanau-Moku.
Father Sky and Mother Earth, the parents of the Polynesian people! In the mythology (pre-history) the embrace of these parents was stifling and prevented both humans and plants from rising to their full heights. Their children, the four Atua / Akua of Tāne, Tangaroa, Tū and Rongo, conspired to separate the divine parents.
Perhaps these parents were parted by "ten fathoms"... figuratively the ten heavens of Polynesian mythology, each one ruled by a different head of a noble family: Lagi-Tua-tasi, Lagi-Tua-Lua and on through to Lagi-Tua-Sefulu the realm of the tenth and highest residence of the Sā Tagaloa, wherein dwelled Tagaloa-a-Lagi.
This suggests that the ten fathoms might very well have been ten waypoints within the Pacific theater separating Asia from the Americas.
Interestingly, in Middle Egyptian we find the word [wmt] (ūmit) means "gateway", "thick", "thick cloth", and "mass (of men)".
My 2cents. Umi in Samoan is length as in what is the umi of the fine mat. Tha answer comes back in gafa which is a fathom. So we measure the umi of the fine mat in gafa. To suppress is to Omi as in o'omi means to press (oppress or suppress) something down. Thanks for opening the window to share for what it's worth. Blessed weekend.
