The word shamaā (𐤔𐤌𐤏) means “hear” meaning to listen to; give or pay attention to.

It is also the name of someone known as “a mighty-man of David”. The name 𐤔𐤌𐤏 (Shamaā) occurs only once in the scriptures (although it’s spelled the same as the town Shema). 𐤔𐤌𐤏 (Shamaā) is the 𐤀𐤇 (akh) of 𐤉𐤏𐤉𐤀𐤋 (Yaāyaal), who are 𐤁𐤍𐤉𐤌 (banayam) of 𐤇𐤅𐤕𐤌 (Khauatam) the 𐤏𐤓𐤏𐤓𐤉 (Āraāray). Both 𐤀𐤇𐤉𐤌 (akhayam) are listed among the mighty men of 𐤃𐤅𐤃 (Dauad), but play no further role in the scriptures.

The Paleo-Hebrew language or the original language of the Ābarayam is one spoken with an emphasis on the rauakh (breath, wind, spirit). With the language of the Ābarayam, each letter has a meaning and a number associated with it that adds meaning to each word they’re used with. Below you will be able to learn more about the letter in Ancient Hebrew, Yiddish Hebrew, Greek, and much more.
