Fraenkel sees a Semitic origin in that the Aramaic forms means the maxillary, and Arabicلَقِمَ(laqima) means “to swallow” – cognate to Ge'ezለቀመ(läḳämä, “to chew on, to eat”), Tigrinyaለቐመ(läḳʰämä, “to chew on, to eat”), and probably identical to Ge'ezለቀመ(läḳämä, “to pick, to choose”), Tigrinyaለቐመ(läḳʰämä, “to pick, to peck, to graze”), Amharicለቀመ(läḳämä, “to peck, to glean, to graze”)[2] –, with Nöldeke thus seeing Aramaic origin as secured; but the rarity and late attestation of the Aramaic words raises doubts, and for the same reason it is difficult to explain that the Ethiopian Semitic word for the bridle is attested in pre-Islamic times already.[3][4][5]
