 m

1. a material of which twt-images can consist, which can also be used for ‘filling’ walls; the meaning of this term is uncertain. Possibilities include:
   1. a kind of plaster or similarly plastic material, possibly gesso
   2. abraded material (crumbs, fragments) from statuettes of protective deities and other sacred images

Formerly a meaning of ‘loam, clay’ was commonly suggested, but this is based on a Coptic etymology that is probably false—Coptic ⲟⲙⲉ (ome) is to be connected with ꜥmꜥt (“mud”), not jm. Further discussion is available at the Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae; see the commentary by Lutz Popko at “jm (Lemma ID 24690)”.
