(1) prop. to gather together, to collect, to join together, whence עָם a people, עִם with, by, עֻמָּה conjunction. (Arab. عَمَّ is to be in common, but this root is very widely extended both in the Phœnicio-Shemitic, and the Indo-Germanic languages. In the former, compare גָּמַם to collect, whence גַּם, מְגַמָּה, כּוּם to cumulate, and retaining the guttural, אָמַם, עָמָה, חָם kinsman, father-in-law; amongst the latter, compare Latin cum, con, cumulus, cunctus (from cungo = jungo), Gr. κοινός (κυνός), γάμος, and with the palatal letter either softened into an aspirate, or changed into a sibilant, Sanscr. sam, Persic هم, Gr. ἅμα, ὁμός, ὁμοῦ (with an added third radical d and l, ὅμιλος, ὅμαδος, comp.
