√ʔML 
vb., V 
1 to look attentively (DO, fī at), regard, contemplate; 2a to meditate; b to consider, think over, ponder, reflect (DO, fī s.th.) – WehrCowan1976. 
▪ vn. V, but prob. not from √ʔML, but from ʔMR, with assumed sound shift *r > l.1 . Thus, it may originally have been *taʔammara and meant s.th. like *‘to take notice of s.th., take s.th. as an indicator\sign for o.s.’, so that the word would be akin to ʔMR items that either express the visibility (=observability) and, hence, evident existence of facts, issues, cases, etc. (↗²ʔamr) or underline the deictic character of s.th. visible (↗ʔamāraẗ).
