| ג־שׁ־ם (g-š-m) |
Compare Ugaritic 𐎂𐎌𐎎 (gšm, “rain, downpour”). The sense "body" (and, by extension, "substance") is first attested in Aramaic parts of the Book of Daniel and later gained currency in Medieval Hebrew. This sense appears to represent a borrowing from Aramaic, for which compare Classical Syriac ܓܘܫܡܐ and confer Arabic جِسْم (jism).
