• دَمَوِيّ (damawiyy)

• Hijazi Arabic: دَمّ (damm)
• Maltese: demm
• Moroccan Arabic: دم (damm)
• → Indonesian: dam (“punishment”)
• → Swahili: damu

Suggested by Hommel as inherited from a Proto-Semitic *dimm- (“wild cat”), but presumably borrowed from Ge'ez ድመት (dəmmat), because this is a Lockwort rare in literary Arabic and appears in the dialects only in northwest Yemen, whereas it overspreads all Ethiopian Semitic as the word for the cat; the compared Akkadian 𒁺𒈠𒈬 (du-ma-mu /⁠dumāmu, tumāmu⁠/, “leopard”) is considered probably a foreign borrowing.

• IPA^(key): /dimm/

دِمّ • (dimm) m (plural دِمَم (dimam), feminine دِمّة (dimma)) (now only Yemen)
