etymology

Borrowed from Arb. ˁlm ‘to mark’ (Lane 2139). The same borrowing took place in Mhr. ˀālōm ‘to brand, to make a mark’, Jib. ˁólúm ‘to mark, to brand’, Gez. ˁallama ‘to write, to seal; to make a sign, to mark’ and elsewhere in Ethiopian Semitic. 

Cf. unadapted Arabisms in the root ˁlm 2 (Arabic).
