 * What is this supposed to mean? That it can't be borrowed? That doesn't follow from your statement. Although it might still be true. Kolmiel (talk) 05:09, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Why not? Also, it must be borrowed. KūMān is not an Arabic pattern and only encountered in a few foreign words from Northwest-Semitic, found also in, ; I don’t know the origin of yet but given this and the lack of a root the provenience it is foreign. The pattern is foreign like KīMāN in , , . The pattern KuLMān, which would contract to KūMān as uw is disallowed, does occur, but does not occur for hollow roots, and in sound and geminate roots it is rare and restricted: it occurs in verbal nouns, and it also occurs in some plurals; I name you , , , , , , , , . Pro hint: people will tell you that  is the verbal noun of  but this word is not used but for its obscurity, Islamist organizations take it as part of their names because it is easy to agree on words which are of uncertain meaning despite occurring eight times in the Scripture.  is of obscure and hardly Arabic origin,  and  are Iranian,  is also not Semitic,  is probably from . But do not confuse this pattern with KuLLāM which is of frequent occurences, I mean KuLM + ān suffix here, a suffix which is less popular in Arabic than it is in Aramaic.

KaLMān and KaLaMān occurs more frequently in Arabic (KaLaMān is formed from iterative verbs and would contract to KāMān if L is  because awa and aya is disallowed and contract so the pattern is unrealistic for hollow roots like  in the first place, probably KaLaMān is only an anaptyxis of KaLMān like the dialect Classical Arabic is based on pluralizes feminine words of the form  as . KāLāM including KāLān is a certain marker of foreign words, also KāLaM, as is explained on .). Fay Freak (talk) 20:13, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

 * А я думалъ что ты хочешь уклоняться этого затягивающаго сайта: Сомневаюсь, что соціальныя сѣти помогаютъ дѣлать лишь нужное. Притомъ я очень презираю Дискордъ. Онъ пропріетарный и очевидно подчинёнъ государственнымъ службамъ. Буквы D въ логотипѣ похожи на еврейскій פ|P и такое чтеніе имени конечно не является случайнымъ.
