رمان

Uncertain direct and ultimate source, not Semitic. Compare Hebrew רימון / רִמּוֹן‎ (rimmṓn), Punic *𐤓𐤌𐤍‎ (*rmn /⁠rimmūn⁠/) and Aramaic רִימֹּונָא‎ / רִמֹּונָא‎‎ (rimmōnā‎) /‎‎ רוּמָּנָא‎‎ / ܪܘܡܢܐ‎ (rummānā), Ge'ez ሮማን (roman), Akkadian 𒄑𒈢𒆳𒊏 (/⁠armannu⁠/).

Likely borrowed from Semitic is Egyptian

(jnhmn /⁠alhammān⁠/), which developed into Demotic hrnt, and from this ⲉⲣⲙⲁⲛ (erman, Bohairic), ⲗⲉϩⲙⲉⲛ (lehmen, Akhmimic), ϩⲉⲣⲙⲁⲛ (herman, Sahidic).
