See נוֹמָד and cp. words there referred to. The change of Gk. nomos to נִימוֹס in Hebrew is due to dissimilation. According to a well-known linguistic law of the Hebrew language if o or u sounds follow each other in two neighboring syllables, the first is generally changed into i. cp. e.g. חִיצוֹן (= outer, exterior), which derives from חוּץ (= out of, outside), and תִּיכוֹן (= middle, central), which comes from תּוֹךְ (= in the midst of); see חִיצוֹן and תִּיכוֹן. According to my opinion the word נִימוֹס also owes its form to the same law of dissimilation. The change of Gk. nomos to נִימוֹס is very important because it proves that this law (the law of Philippi) continued to be valid during the period of the Mishnah and Talmud, and was applied even to words of foreign origin. cp. MH בִּימוֹס (= pedestal), which was dissimilated from Gk. bomos (= altar), קִינוֹף (= frame of canopy for a mosquito net), dissimilated from Gk. konopeion (= a bed with mosquito curtains), קִיתוֹן (= jug, cup), dissimilated from Gk. kothon (= Laconian drinking vessel).] Derivative: נִימוּסִי.
