Forms: ʿ-l-m [romanization]
Etymology: Cognate with Aramaic עַלֵּם (ʿallem) "to conceal, make disappear" and Ugaritic 𐎓𐎍𐎎 (ʿlm) "to be hidden, unknown; to go unnoticed". Potentially related to Akkadian 𒂖𒆷𒈬𒌋𒀀 (/⁠ellamu, illamu⁠/, “front, before; both temporally and in location; coming before your time or being currently physically before you now”) via the notion of "front" ↔ "to be in front, to be preceding; to go ahead of" ↔ "to leave behind" ↔ "to be gone; to vanish, disappear" ↔ "to conceal, hide".
