Etymology 2

Compare Ugaritic 𐎋𐎗𐎎 (krm, “vineyard”), Aramaic כַּרְמָא (karmā, “vineyard”), Hebrew כֶּרֶם (kérem, “vineyard”), Akkadian 𒃾 (karānum, “wine, vine, grapes”), and the possible etymon Egyptian kꜣm. Due to the small difference in the third consonant of the Akkadian form, the Dictionnaire du faisceau dialectal arabe andalou suggests a borrowing from a language of Anatolia, the same suspicion as for Proto-West Semitic *wayn- (“grape”), and additionally speculates that the homonymic root related to nobleness derived from the name of the vine plant.
