 * . Trailing -ūm or -um is an often augment used for outgrowths. Other examples are, , , , , , . But predates Arabic, as, you see, there is a Hebrew, and there is  Aramaic. There are also others consonants like in , , , , which is not productive in recorded times. Fay Freak (talk) 20:31, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
