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.
