Mimation (Arabic: تَمْيِيم, tamyīm) is the phenomenon of a suffixed -m (the letter mem in many Semitic abjads) which occurs in some Semitic languages.
This occurs in Akkadian in singular nouns.
It is retained in the plural and dual forms in Hebrew.
It corresponds to the letter nun (-n) in Classical Arabic and is retained in the singular (nunation), dual, and plural.
