etymology

To be compared to Arb. wqm ‘to humble, to subdue; to sadden’, Sab. wḳm ‘to be submissive; to render submissive’. Johnstone (JL 291) compares the Soqotri verb to Jib. eḳúhm ‘to take upon oneself all the responsibility; to be interferring, officious’ without specifying the hypothetic semantic development.
