History of Meaning
The pictograph of the word is of waves and symbolizes something massive, like the ocean, something in chaos, or indicating: to come from, as water in motion. When it is the first letter of a word it can be a prefix and has more than one meaning, i.e., the preposition “from or than” or can indicate the participle form of certain verbs.
However, when it is the last letter of a word, following the yad (𐤉), it creates a plural of the object it is attached to. For example, Ābar (𐤏𐤁𐤓) is an individual who would become the progenitor of many nations. However, an Ābaray (𐤏𐤁𐤓𐤉) is one individual who is from the tribe of Ābar. Lastly, an Ābarayam (𐤏𐤁𐤓𐤉𐤌) is multiple people from the tribe of Ābar.
History of the Letter M
The letter M was introduced in 1800 BCE (2125 AM). By 800 BC, the peaks became zigzags and the structure was made horizontal — our “M” in sound and appearance. Curious forms occur in the various Italic alphabets, including Umbrian, Oscan, and Faliscan. The rounded form appears in the uncial writing of the 5th or 6th century. The cursive hands of the 6th century show a different rounded form that is based on the Carolingian.
The sound represented by the letter has been from the beginning the labial nasal. Of all sounds, the nasals are least liable to change, a fact that is reflected in the consistent history of the letter.
