Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /ɡrám.ma/, /ˈɣram.ma/, /ˈɣra.ma/, /ɡrám.ma/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈɡram.ma/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈɣram.ma/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈɣram.ma/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈɣra.ma/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From γράφω (gráphō, “I write”) + -μα (-ma, result noun suffix). About its weight meaning there are two theories: * It was taken from Latin scrūpulus, which in its meaning, "smallest division of weight", was more frequently written scrūpulum, scrīpulum, and by some fancied derivation from scrīptum was written scrīptulum, scrīptlum. Hence it was later translated in Ancient Greek as γράμμα from γράφω (gráphō, “to write”), as scrīptulum from scrībō (“to write”). * It was a Semitic borrowing, with the measure tallied to the stones or pits of small fruits, Jewish Palestinian Aramaic גרוֹם (grūm, “kernel”), Classical Syriac ܓܪܽܘܡܳܐ (grūmā, “bone; kernel, stone, pit”), Arabic جَرَام (jarām, “date-stone”), related to the common גַּרְמָא / ܓܰܪܡܳܐ (garmā, “bone; kernel, stone, pit”).

  "etymology_text": "From γράφω (gráphō, “I write”) + -μα (-ma, result noun suffix).\nAbout its weight meaning there are two theories:\n* It was taken from Latin scrūpulus, which in its meaning, \"smallest division of weight\", was more frequently written scrūpulum, scrīpulum, and by some fancied derivation from scrīptum was written scrīptulum, scrīptlum. Hence it was later translated in Ancient Greek as γράμμα from γράφω (gráphō, “to write”), as scrīptulum from scrībō (“to write”).\n* It was a Semitic borrowing, with the measure tallied to the stones or pits of small fruits, Jewish Palestinian Aramaic גרוֹם (grūm, “kernel”), Classical Syriac ܓܪܽܘܡܳܐ (grūmā, “bone; kernel, stone, pit”), Arabic جَرَام (jarām, “date-stone”), related to the common גַּרְמָא / ܓܰܪܡܳܐ (garmā, “bone; kernel, stone, pit”).",
