Hebrew yamin (ymyn) 'the right hand, right side, right; the South'; relatd to Syr.Aram. yamin, yamina', Ugar. ymn, Arabic yami:n, yaman (= right hand, right side, south), Ethiop. yama:n (= right hand), Akkad. immu, imittu (= right hand, right side). Klein's CEDHL. It is interesting that the idea of the South being on the right, due, no doubt, to one's facing East, also obtains in Sanskrit: daksina (cf. Latin dexter) 'right hand, South'.
