اللهم

ar-interj

اَللّٰهُمَّ • (allāhumma)

اَللّٰهُمَّ (canonical)
allāhumma (romanization)

Extended form of اَللّٰه (allāh). The origin of the مّ (mm) is unknown. Theories include a connection with مَا (mā), or a borrowing from Hebrew אלוהים (elohim), where the final -m is a majestic plural ending. The form is first attested in the Quran (3:26, 5:114, 8:32, 10:10, 39:46). Some interpret it to be a fusion of يَا اللهُ أُمَّ, shortened from يا ألله أمّنا بخير (yā ʾallāhu ʾummanā bi-khayr), meaning "O God, lead us in goodness".

قُلِ ٱللّٰهُمَّ مَالِكَ ٱلْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِي ٱلْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ وَتَنْزِعُ ٱلْمُلْكَ مِمَّنْ تَشَاءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَنْ تَشَاءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَنْ تَشَاءُ بِيَدِكَ ٱلْخَيْرُ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

O God, Lord of all dominion! Thou grantest dominion unto whom Thou willest, and takest away dominion from whom Thou willest and abasest whom Thou willest. In Thy hand is all good. Verily, Thou hast the power to will anything.

quli llāhumma mālika l-mulki tuʔtī l-mulka man tašāʔu wa-tanziʕu l-mulka mimman tašāʔu wa-tuʕizzu man tašāʔu wa-tuḏillu man tašāʔu bi-yadika l-ḵayru ʔinnaka ʕalā kulli šayʔin qadīrun

And, lo, they would say, "O God! If this be indeed the truth from Thee, then rain down upon us stones from the skies, or inflict grievous suffering on us!"

wa-ʔiḏ qālū llāhumma ʔin kāna hāḏā huwa l-ḥaqqa min ʕindika fa-ʔamṭir ʕalaynā ḥijāratan mina s-samāʔi ʔawi ʔtinā bi-ʕaḏābin ʔalīmin

nhất

Sino-Vietnamese word from 一 (“one”).
The ‹nh-› is from ʔj-, which was perceived as the implosive *ʄ- then developed into ɲ- as implosives nasalized: ʔjit > *ʄit > ɲit. For a similar case of development of Middle Chinese ʔj-, compare nhân, from 因 (MC 'jin). See Ferlus (2009) for details.
Sino-Vietnamese shows fairly systemic contrast between characters belonging to Chongniu III and IV rime groups with certain initials: nhất (< *ʔj- < 一 (MC 'jit)) vs. ất (< *ʔ- < 乙 (MC 'it)), dân (< *j- < *mj- < 民 (MC mjin)) vs. mân (< *m- < 珉 (MC min)), tần (< *bj- < 嬪 (MC bjin)) vs. bần (< *b- < 貧 (MC bin)). The first character of each pair belongs to Chongniu IV group and shows clear palatalization in its Sino-Vietnamese reflexes, while the second belongs to Chongniu III and yields simplex initial.
