Etymology 2

[edit]

Compare Ugaritic 𐎋𐎗𐎎 (krm, vineyard), Aramaic כַּרְמָא (karmā, vineyard), Hebrew כֶּרֶם (kérem, vineyard), Akkadian 𒃾 (karānum, wine, vine, grapes), and the possible etymon Egyptian kꜣm. Due to the small difference in the third consonant of the Akkadian form, the Dictionnaire du faisceau dialectal arabe andalou suggests a borrowing from a language of Anatolia, the same suspicion as for Proto-West Semitic *wayn- (grape), and additionally speculates that the homonymic root related to nobleness derived from the name of the vine plant.
