How it is used
Lane's lists this form among the ح م و entries, but the root's own documented vocabulary is about relatives by marriage, not protection: حَمٌ (and its variants) names a woman's husband's male relative, and its feminine حَمَاةٌ names the husband's mother. The headword's sense "protector" stands apart from that in-law vocabulary.
Words from the same root
- حَمٌ a woman's husband's male relative — father-in-law, brother-in-law, etc.
- حَمَاةٌ a husband's mother, i.e. mother-in-law (also used for the calf muscle of the leg)
- حَمُو variant of ḥam, declined like abū and used only before a following genitive
