Etymology

Borrowed from various Iranian descendants of Proto-Indo-European *sem- (same). Compare Old Persian 𐏃𐎶 (ham), Persian هم (ham)[1] The same prefix is found in many terms wholly-borrowed from Iranian, e.g. համակ (hamak), համագունակ (hamagunak), հանգոյն (hangoyn), համակդեն (hamakden), հանդէս (handēs), համհարզ (hamharz).[1] The form հոմ- (hom-) was adapted post-classically by the Hellenizing School based on Ancient Greek ὁμο- (homo-).[1]

Prefix

համ- (ham-)

  1. same, homo-
    համ- (ham-) + բուն (bun, nature)համաբնեայ (hamabneay, of the same nature)
  2. whole, pan-
    համ- (ham-) + գունդ (gund, group)համագունդ (hamagund, in a united company, with all the company)
  3. an intensifying prefix
    համ- (ham-) + լսեմ (lsem, to listen)համալսեմ (hamalsem, to listen intently)
    համարձակhamarjakbold, free
  4. a pleonastic prefix
