Arabic
editEtymology 1
editFrom the Nabataean letter 𐢓 (m, “mim”), derived from the Phoenician letter 𐤌 (m, “mem”), from the Egyptian hieroglyph 𓈖. See also Classical Syriac ܡ (m, “mīm”), Hebrew מ (m, “mem”), Ancient Greek Μ (M), Latin M.
Pronunciation
editLetter
editم / مـ / ـمـ / ـم • (mīm)
- the twenty-fourth letter of the Arabic alphabet. It is preceded by ل (l) and followed by ن (n)
- p.m., after noon (abbreviation from مساء)
- See also: ص (ṣ)
Symbol
editم / مـ / ـمـ / ـم • (mīm)
- the thirteenth letter in traditional abjad order, which is used in place of numerals for list numbering (abjad numerals). It is preceded by ل (l) and followed by ن (n).
Etymology 2
editFrom Proto-Semitic. Sometimes thought to be derived from the pronouns present in 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.

editم / مـ / ـمـ / ـم • (mim)
- The twenty-eighth letter of the Perso-Arabic alphabet. It is preceded by ل and followed by ن. Its name is میم (mim).
Etymology 2
editFrom Middle Persian [script needed] (-om).
Suffix
editـُم • (-om)
Dari | ـم |
---|---|
Iranian Persian | |
Tajik | -ум |
- -th; creates ordinal numbers
- پنجم ― panj-om ― fifth
- بیست و یکم ― bist-o yek-om ― twenty-first
- -th; creates fractions
- یک ششم میوه ― yek šeš-om-e mive ― a sixth of the fruit
Usage notes
editAn ordinal number formed by the suffix ـم (-om) behaves syntactically as a regular adjective, unlike the cardinals, and takes the ezâfe.
- بیست قرن ― bist qarn ― twenty centuries
- قرن بیستم ― qarn-e bistom ― twentieth century
Persian has two ways to form the ordinals: ـم (-om), and the related ـمین (-omin). The -om forms have a stronger connotation of labeling, while the -omin forms have a stronger connotation of counting according to a certain criterion. The -omin forms also precede the attributed noun without the ezâfe.
- خانه سوم خیابان ― xâne-ye sevvom-e xiyâbân ― third house on the street [out of all houses]
- سومین خانه سیاه خیابان ― sevvomin xâne-ye siyâh-e xiyâbân ― the third black house on the street
For "first" in isolation (but not in compounds), یکم (yekom) is much less common than the Arabic-borrowed اول (avval).
Etymology 3
editFrom می (mê-, mi-).
