; Ethiopic 
probably Assyrian [ emê‡u] III:2 implore (earnestly; 'from bottom of one's soul'), emû‡u, might, nîme‡u, wisdom (? as unfathomable); ᵑ7 in derivatives; Syriac in derived species); — Qal Perfect 3 masculine plural עָֽמְקוּ Psalm 92:6 (of ׳י s designs; compare Assyrian above).
Hiph`il make deep: Perfect 3 masculine singular (symbolic) הֶעְמִיק הִרְחִ֑ב Isaiah 30:33 (that is Tophet; van d. H. הֶעֱמִיק, and so in following); 3 masculine plural הֶעְמִיקוּ Hosea 5:2 the pit of Shittim (?) have they made deep (reading שַׁחַת הַשִּׁטִּים We Now, compare Che Gu Kau); הֶעְמִיקוּ סָרָה Isaiah 31:6 (figurative) they have made deep (their) apostasy; followed by verb, with adverbial force שִׁחֵתֻ֖וּ׳ה Hosea 9:9 = they are in the depth of corruption (see שׁחת); Imperative masculine plural הֶעְמִיקוּ (Ges§ 63 o), followed by infinitive Jeremiah 49:8,30 make deep to dwell (of hiding, so most; > Gie take an abject seat, as Jeremiah 13:18; Jeremiah 48:18); Participle הַמַּעֲמִיקִים לַסְתִּר Isaiah 29:15 they who deeply hide from ׳י (their) counsel; Infinitive absolute הַעְמֵק Isaiah 7:11 #NAME? make deep (ask a sign in the depths of Sh®°ôl, reading שְׁאֹ֑לָה; opposed to הַגְבֵּהַּ).
עָמַק to be deep, metaph. to be unsearchable, Psalms 92:6 compare Greek βαθύφρων, βάθος … σοφίας καὶ γνώσεως Θεοῦ, Romans 11:33. (Arab. عَمُقَ, more rarely with the letters transposed هعق, Aram. ܥܡܩܰ, Eth. ዐመቀ፡ id.)
Hiphil, to make deep, to deepen, often followed by a finite verb. Isaiah 7:11, הַעֲמֵק שְׁאָֽלָה “deepen, ask,” i.e. ask that a miracle may be performed from the deep; and followed by a gerund, in such a manner that it almost becomes an adverb, Jerem. 49:8, 30 Jeremiah 49:30, הֶעֱמִיקוּ לָשֶׁבֶת “make deep your habitations,” dwell in the depths of the earth. Hosea 9:9. Isaiah 29:15, הַמַּעֲמִיקִים לַסְתִּיר “those who hide deeply.” Things are also called deep which extend to a great length before the eye of the beholder, like the Gr. βαθὺς τόπος, a long extended region, βαθεία αὐλή, Il. v. 142; just as we call the space from the front to the back of a house, the depth (die Tiefe des Haufes), comp. עֵמֶק. Isaiah 30:33, הֶעֱמִיק הִרְחִיב מְדֻרָתָה “he hath made the burning pile long and broad;” and metaph. הֶעֱמִיקוּ סָרָה “they have gone far aside,” fie entfernen fich weit, Isaiah 31:6; Hosea 5:2.
