NUMBER: 2230

PROTO: *t_Vkm- {} *čVkm-

PRNUM: PRNUM

MEANING: neck and shoulders

угаритский: t_km 'Nacken mit Schulter' [Aist 334].

Cf. t_kmn 'Bezeichnung des deifizierten Himmelsberges' [ibid.] (cf. HBR below)

еврейский (иврит): šǝkäm 'oberer Teil des Rückens, Schulter, Nacken, Rücken, Bergrücken' [KB deutsch 1384]

тигре: (?) šäkäm 'beard' [LH 222], šäkǝm 'menton' [ibid., apud Munzinger].

a meaning shift 'neck' > 'chin' > 'beard' is feasible (cf. also šǝkmät 'halter' [ibid.])

NOTES: Scarcely attested as an anatomic term (only UGR, HBR and probably TGR, with a meaning shift).

Note a derived verb to be recognized as common SEM: UGR t_km 'auf den Schultern tragen' [Aist 334] and ETH: GEZ sakama 'to carry on shoulders' [LGz 496], TGR šäkǝm 'fardeau' (very likely a deverbal noun) [LH 222, apud d'Abbadie], TNA täsäkkämä 'portare, mettrsi sulle spalle' [Bass 365], AMH täsäkkämä 'to carry, to bear' [K 560].

Cf. ARB t_uknat- 'collier en perles; collier en laine teinte qu'on suspend comme ornament au cou du chameau'; presumably related with assimilation of *m > n after the velar. As for the semantic shift, see SEM *ʕun(a)ḳ- 'neck' and 'necklace', No. .

Note SAB t_kmt interpreted as 'subjects' and 'first year of eponymous office' in [Biella 544] and compared to this root; the argumentation is not quite convincing.
