Etymologie (Englisch)

Etymology tree
Proto-Afroasiatic *dam-
Proto-Semitic *dam-
Arabic دَم (dam)
Proto-Semitic *muḫḫ-
Arabic مُخّ (muḵḵ)
blend
Arabic دِمَاغ (dimāḡ)
Blend of دَم (dam, “blood”) + مُخّ (muḵḵ, “brain”), compare Arabic دَمْع (damʕ, “tears”) of the same relation with عَيْن (ʕayn, “eye”). While دَمْع (damʕ, “tears”) traces its formation back to Proto-Semitic, the present term is only paralleled by Ethiopian Semitic, Ge'ez ድማሕ (dəmaḥ), ድማኅ (dəmaḫ), ድማህ (dəmah, “head; crown of the head; skull; summit”), Amharic ድማኅ (dəmaḫ, “top of the head”), Argobba ድማኅ (“head”), Gafat dəmʷä (“head”), Silt'e ዱም (dum), Wolane ዱሚ (dumi, “head; hair of head”), Tigre ደምቀት (dämḳät, “crown of the head”), apparently back-formed from later plurals ድማቅ (dəmaḳ), ድመቅ (dəmäḳ), with presumable Gurage borrowings Awngi ዱሚ (dūmī, “top”), Oromo dumi (“head”). While borrowing of at least a part of the terms is manifest, the preservation of guttural fricatives unassimilated in voicedness to the second radical against Arabic points to either inheritance from Proto-West Semitic or borrowing from Old South Arabian whose names of body parts use to be poorly attested.
