همم — ambitions. A plural noun serving as the object of the contempt verb, and it heads an 'of' pairing with the following noun: 'the ambitions of the students'. As the first member it leans on that owner and drops its own 'the', taking the object form here. The two nouns side by side build the 'of' link.
