Classical Syriac
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Aramaic 𐡀𐡂𐡌 (ʾgm), borrowed into West Semitic from Akkadian 𒀀𒂵𒈬𒌝 (agammum), from Sumerian 𒀀𒂵𒄠 (agam); compare Jewish Babylonian Aramaic אַגְמָא (ʾaḡmā), Hebrew אֲגַם (ʾăḡamm, “lake, swamp”), Arabic أَجَمَة (ʔajama, “jungle, brushwood”).
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Classical Edessan) IPA(key): [ˈʔɛɣ.mɑ]
- (Eastern Syriac) IPA(key): [ˈʔaɣ.mɑ], [ˈʔɑɣ.mɑ]
- (Western Syriac) IPA(key): [ˈʔɛɣ.mo]
The Eastern pronunciations differ from the expected *[ˈʔɪɣ.mɑ].
