Cf. garmītā 'a small bone or sinew' [Ja 270] (the form is probably influenced by garmīdā 'arm, elbow, cubit' [ibid. 270])

    Cf. also ʔagrūmǝtā 'cadaver' [ibid.] (with the ʔa- prefix), probably developed from the lost meaning 'body'

    The latter three forms look like broken plural, though not marked as such in [BK].

    Cf. ǧarām-, ǧurām- 'noyau de dattes'; a meaning shift from 'bone'

    Though as an anatomic term attested in C. SEM only, possibly has cognates with various meaning shifts in ETH, cf. TGR gǝrmi 'large split thorn' [LH 573] (< 'bone'?). Cf. also EAST: SEL gurman, WOL gurm, ZWY gurmi 'stump of tree, trunk of tree, log' [LGur 294]; GUR: MSQ GOG gurma, MUH SOD gurmä do.; for a semantic connection between 'body' and 'trunk' cf. LATIN truncus (however, Leslau may be right relating these GUR forms to the verb *grm 'to cut off' attested in AMH and ARB [ibid.]).

    Another case of a plausible semantic development see in SAB grm 'terrible, majestic, etc.' [SD 50] and GEZ garama 'to be frightful, awesome, to become formidable, admirable' (with cognates throughout ETH) [LGz 203]; for a similar meaning shift see Introduction.

    Still another assumed shift of meaning from 'body' see in MHR gǝrǝmēt 'sweet little child' [JM 124]; for this and similar developments, cf. Introduction.

    Cf. *garab- 'body; stomach' (No. ).

    [DRS 186]: HBR, ARM, ARB (incl. ǧarrīmat- 'queue' not attested in [BK]), ESA, ETH (also included are ARB YEM ǧarm 'couverture, vêtement faits de peaux de moutons cousues', SAB grm 'peau d'animal servant d'outre' and TGR gǝrm 'peau cousues'; comparisons semantically difficult); [KB 203]: HBR, ARM, ARB; [Brock 32]: SYR, ARM, HBR, ARB
