פִּימָה f.n. 1 fat. NH 2 double chin. A hapax legomenon in the Bible, occurring Job 15:27 and prob. meaning ‘fat’. The Septuagint renders this word by Gk. peristomion (= mouth), hence sees in it a derivative of פֶּה. Menahem ben Saruk, Rashi and several other lexicographers and commentators also derive it from פֶּה. According to other scholars פִּימָה is a contraction of פְּאִימָה, from a base פאם, which is prob. related to Arab. fa‘ima (= was full), fa‘ama (= he filled), perhaps also to Akka. piāmu (= strong, robust).
