The form ܝܲܬ݂ܡܵܐ (yaṯmā), from Aramaic יַתְמָא (yaṯmā), from Proto-Semitic *yatam- (“to be fatherless or without a guardian, to be without support of family or tribe, to be disenfranchised or alone”) is attested in Nineveh Plains in Maclean’s ‘A Dictionary of the Dialects of Vernacular Syriac’ (1901). However, the modern form ܝܲܬܘܼܡܵܐ (yatūmā) exactly matches the common adjective pattern 1a22ū3ā, suggesting that this word originally meant “orphaned, fatherless,” while ܝܲܬ݂ܡܵܐ (yaṯmā) would have been the noun “orphan”. This distinction was probably lost and the adjective form assumed both meanings. Compare Classical Syriac ܝܬܡܐ (yaṯmā), Hebrew יָתוֹם (yatóm), Phoenician 𐤉𐤕𐤌 (ytm), Arabic يَتِيم (yatīm), Classical Mandaic ࡉࡀࡕࡉࡌࡀ (yatima), Tigre ያፓም (yattam), and Ugaritic 𐎊𐎚𐎎 (ytm).
