1. nation, people — The feminine noun אֻמָּה meaning 'nation, people, tribe', used in late biblical Hebrew (primarily Psalm 117 and Daniel) to refer to peoples or ethnic groups. The two clusters differ only in grammatical number: S82889 is the plural construct/absolute אֻמּוֹת ('nations') while S82891 is the singular אֻמָּה ('nation').
