Akkadian: imnu 'right side, right hand' OB on [CAD i 136], [AHw 379]; imittu do. OB on [CAD i 120], [AHw 377] (<*yamin-t-u)
Ugaritic: ymn 'die rechte Hand, rechts' [Aist 130]
Hebrew: yāmīn 'right side' [KB 415].

    Note also the adjective yǝmānī 'right', which cannot be reduced to yāmīn, but is rather formed after a special derivational pattern, see *ŝimaʔl- {} *ĉimaʔl- 'left (side, hand)', No.

Aramaic: OFF ymn PLM NBT ymyn 'right side' [HJ 461]
Judaic Aramaic: yammīnā, yǝmīnā 'right side, right hand' [Ja 580]; yammīn [Sok 242]
Syrian Aramaic: yammīnā adj. 'dexter', n. 'dextra' [Brock 303]
Modern Aramaic: MAL yīmen 'recht' [Berg 57] NASS yämīnä 'right side, right hand' [Tser 099] MMND yamīna 'right (hand)' [M MND 518] GZR yámme 'right' [Nak 76] IRAN yammīnâ 'la destra' [Pen 136]

Amharic: yäman [K 1691].

    According to Kane, from GEZ

Jibbali: (?) iñ 'droite' [LS 64].

    Correctly transcribed as ĩn in [SSL 2 247] (<*yimn ?). Presumably lost in modern dialects and for that reason not quoted in [JJ]

Notes: Possibly two original stems formed after different patterns.

    Note loss of *ya in TGR.

    Cf. MSA: MHR ḥáymǝl 'right hand' [JM 461], HRS ḥémel 'right (hand)' [JH 147] (with the ḥ- article), JIB ɛ́mlí 'right' [JJ 314], SOQ ʔímhel 'côté droit' [LS 64] (Leslau also quotes the form imḥal, which looks like a metathesis of *ḥimal, with the ḥ- article), cf. [SS L LS 1450]. These examples with -l instead of -n are likely influenced by the MSA term for 'left'--see *ŝimaʔl- {} *ĉimaʔl- 'left (side, hand)', No.
