Conventional

Am/Em (Mother)

am/em

Primary Conventional Usage

The Hebrew word for Mother is Am (or Em). This Hebrew word occurs 25 times in the Scriptures in this base state (Em), and nearly 175 more times in variations (their mother, our mother, his mother, etc.), all of which are translated as «mother» in English. (Note: Deuteronomy 22:6-7 translate in the King James Version as «dam» instead of «mother.» In middle-english, this word was used to describe a female creature.) It is highly interesting to note that where a personal pronoun is used (his, her, my) in conjunction with mother, the transliteration becomes «Emma» (or «immi») in the English. This is not too dissimmilar to the AB/ABBA discusion where we discuss the variation between AB and ABBA. 

First use of Hebrew Word Em (Mother) in Scriptures

And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.  Genesis 3:20

In the conventional English text of the Hebrew scriptures, we have a definition of Eve as «the mother of all living.» But what does «the mother of all living» really mean? Many have attempted to spin a story that there were humans created before Adam and Eve using poor exegetical exercises and stating that «man» was created in Genesis 1, and Adam and Eve were created later in Genesis 2. This view is in error, and we will not take the time to explore all the numerous problems this creates, but simply looking at Genesis 2:5 to see that there «was not a man to till the ground» should be a stong clue that Adam was the first man, and Eve his wife was the first woman. Thus, Eve truly is «the mother of all living» in every sense of the meaning.

Pictorial Translation of AM (Mother) 

The Ideal

Aleph

Strong Leader

First

God the Father  

Mem

Waters

Liquid

Water

Aleph is the first letter in the Hebrew Aleph-Bet and the literal picture is that of an OX.  The meaning would have been clear to the ancient Hebrew; as the Ox was the symbol of both position, strength and leadership.  The Ox leads the cows and calves in its herd to safe pastures and protects them from predators. 

Mem is the thirteenth letter in the Hebrew Aleph-Bet.  The ancient Hebrew picture is that of waves of water and can either mean life-giving waters, or chaotic, destructive waters.

When you place these two letters together, you have the First or Strong Water-GIver. The Mother is the first one to give life. Think about the birthing process for a moment. A child grows and develops in the water held in the womb of the mother. Life is in this water, and many necessary compounds such as proteins and carbohydrates are absorbed by the child during development. Without these, the child would not grow, and would eventually die. The mother provides life-giving water to the new child, and even after birth this process continues as the child is nursed with the mother’s milk.

Recall that the Hebrew method of numbers would adds the value of the numbers together.  So in Hebrew the Number 1 (Aleph) and the Number 13 (Mem) is the sum of both numbers.  1+13=14.

Am as a number is the number 14, the number of the letter Noon, which means life!

sorry if this had yet been answered sufficiently

a) mama variants are significantly more common than papa (so I heared). Indeed, p is learned far later (else where it’s said to be «soon after») and thus deemed more difficult than m. Therefore let’s focus on mama. By the way, you’ll find a similar distribution of [m]e in translations of the first person singular pronoun.

b) You wrote: «This is found in many language families, so they can’t be considered cognates» — that’s presupposing that the language families aren’t releated, but that is as of yet an open question. This topic and your argument (see c below) specifically is argued to deny a common ancestor of the world languages, so you kind of have a circular argument.

c) «This is usually explained by the easiness of babies making this sound early in their babbling, so the parents just use those sounds to refer to themselves» — I have read the argument (and will find the news article about the prof., ca. from the time this Q was posted)^[1], that it relates to the lip motion of sucking on tiets. I conclude that does at least explain why the phoneme is easy to produce (although it’s prerequisite vice versa for eating, that the motion is possible). I’d further inferred from the article that the motion is liable to be produced when hungry (or when satisfied, hmmmmm). In that sense, mama et al might be phonosemantic and especially priviliged to survive. If phonosemantics is not your thing, one could at least argue if the sound is so likely to be primed for mum that it would be likely to survive if there was a common ancestor and more likely if reinforced by cultural background.

Note that while the sound may be easy to learn, it may be not as easy to recognize as an appelation. At least to «just use those sounds to refer to themselves» is a gross simplification.

1: I didn’t find the news article, but the claim can be found by Roman Jakobson, Why ‘Mama’ and ‘Papa’?
