▪ HWM_1 ‘head; crown, vertex; top, summit’ ↗hāmaẗ
▪ HWM_2 ‘to nod drowsily (head of s.o. falling asleep); to doze off, doze, nap’ ↗hawwama

Other items, now obsolete, include (Hava1899):

▪ †HWM_3 ‘depressed tracts of land’: †hawm; cf. also †hawmaẗ, †hawmāẗ ‘extensive plain’
▪ †HWM_4 ‘medicinal plant, kind of jasmine used against calculus’: †hawm al-maǧūs
▪ †HWM_5 ‘…’: †…
conc
▪ [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?
▪ †[v4] : ?

hist
▪ [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’.
