"nūnum" meaning in All languages combined

See nūnum on Wiktionary

Noun [Akkadian]

IPA: /ˈnuː.num/ (note: Old Babylonian) Forms: nūnū [plural]
Etymology: Possibly from Sumerian or a loanword from elsewhere into Semitic languages, also found in an Aramaic נוּנָא (nūnā) / ܢܽܘܢܳܐ (nūnā, “fish”) and Mishnaic Hebrew נוּן (nun, “fish”). (A Proto-Semitic *nūn- (“fish”) sometimes posited is hardly possible, in as much as two identical consonants linked by a vowel are a strange patterning for a Semitic noun.)
