Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition
חָטַם to stop the mouth of an animal with a muzzle, to muzzle. (Arabic خطم, whence خِطَامُ a muzzle. Cognate roots are חָסַם, עָצַם also חָתַם, comp. my remarks on the signification of the syllables דם, טם, תם, p. 203.) Of a kindred power to this root are domare, dämmen, zudämmen, zähmen. Metaph. Isaiah 48:9, אֶחֱטָם־לָךְ “I tame or muzzle (myself [‘my anger’]) towards thee, I restrain myself.”
