م / مـ‍ / ـ‍م‍ـ / ـ‍م‎ • (mīm)

1. the thirteenth letter in traditional abjad order, which is used in place of numerals for list numbering (abjad numerals). It is preceded by ل‎ (l) and followed by ن‎ (n).

From Proto-Semitic. Sometimes thought to be derived from the pronouns present in Arabic مَا‎ (mā), Hebrew מה‎ (mā, “what”), and مَن‎ (man), מי‎ (mī, “who”), so that, for example, مُدَرِّس‎ (mudarris, “teacher”) is originally من يُدَرِّس‎ (man yudarris, “he who teaches”). Compare also Arabic مَكْتُوب‎ (maktūb) versus Hebrew כתוב‎ (kāṯūḇ), both meaning “written”, with prefix in Arabic, but without in Hebrew.
