Etymology 1 [ edit ] Pronunciation [ edit ] م / مـ / ـمـ / ـم • (mīm )

م / مـ / ـمـ / ـم • (mīm )

Etymology 2 [ edit ] From Proto-Semitic Arabic مَا ( mā ) , Hebrew מה ( mā , “ what ” ) , and مَن ( man ) , מי ( mī , “ who ” ) , so that, for example, مُدَرِّس ( mudarris , “ teacher ” ) is originally من يُدَرِّس ( man yudarris , “ he who teaches ” ) . Compare also Arabic مَكْتُوب ( maktūb ) versus Hebrew כתוב ( kāṯūḇ ) , both meaning “written”, with prefix in Arabic, but without in Hebrew.
