Hebrew
Etymology
Suggested by Sjörs to be cognate to Classical Arabic طَرْمَة (ṭarma), طِرْمَة (ṭirma), طُرْمَة (ṭurma, “upper lip; edge, protrusion”), retained in several dialects as diminutive طَرُّومَة (ṭarrūma), from a Central Semitic anatomic term *ṭVrm- f (“big lip”). Compare the development of سَوْفَ (sawfa, future tense marker) eventually from Proto-Semitic *śapat- (“lip; brink, margin”).
