Etymology 2

Root
צ־ו־ם (ṣ-w-m)

Verb

צָמָה • (transliteration needed)

1. Feminine singular present participle and present tense of צָם (tsám).
2. Third-person feminine singular past (suffix conjugation) of צָם (tsám)

Usage notes

• As always for the paal construction of a triliteral verb with second root letter ו or י, the feminine third-person singular past tense is traditionally pronounced with its emphasis on the first syllable, and the feminine singular present tense with its emphasis on the second; in colloquial use, though, both are pronounced with emphasis on the first syllable.
