▪ [gen] : DRS groups [v1] hāmaẗ ‘head, vertex’ and [v2] hawwama ‘to nod drowsily, doze off’ together with other items that EtymArab prefers to treat separately, under ↗HYM. Taken these doubtful cognates away, Ar hāmaẗ and hawwama seem to remain rather isolated.
▪ [v2] : probably dependent on [v1]. DRS seems to take their interrelatedness as an unquestionable given.
▪ ^†[v3] : DRS likewise groups this value together with [v1]/[v2] and some HYM items. But what would link them semantically?

1 head; 2 crown, vertex; 3 top, summit; 4 see also ↗HMː (HMM) – WehrCowan1976

▪ [gen] : DRS groups hāmaẗ ‘head, vertex’ and hawwama ‘to nod drowsily, doze off’ together with other items that EtymArab prefers to treat separately, under ↗HYM. Taken these doubtful cognates away, Ar hāmaẗ and hawwama seem to remain rather isolated.
▪ [v2] and [v3] are abstractions from [v1].
▪ DRS HW/YM-1 groups hāmaẗ together with the (now obsolete) ^†hawm ‘depressed tracts of land’, ^†hawmaẗ, ^†hawmāẗ ‘extensive plain’ (↗^†HWM_3). But it remains unclear in which way the two values should be related.
▪ …

▪ [v1] : The value ^†‘owl’ (chouette) given by DRS for hāmaẗ in addition to ‘head, top of head’ (tête, sommet de la tête) may be on account of the owl’s big head; see also next paragraph.
▪ [v1] : The adj. ^†ʔahwamᵘ ‘big-headed’, now obsolete, is certainly related to hāmaẗ ‘head’, and a classical Ar al-^†hawwām for ‘the lion’ seems to be *‘the big-headed one’.
