Doppler shifts of the magnetically insensitive line Fe 7090.4 are observed in two sunspot umbrae on three days over time intervals up to 8.5 h. The temporal power spectra show a large variety of periods whose pattern reoccurs periodically. Neither the 300 s nor the 180 s periods are preferred umbral modes. Conspicuous power near 0.8 m Hz closely corresponds to the known 20 min time scale of umbral dots. A 240 s period from the revolution of the telescope's RA drive screw indicates the occasional existence of a structured umbral velocity field; its relation to intensity structures, e.g. the dots, is seen from the 240 s power peak in the simultaneously recorded continuum intensity.
