Home, House, from Semitic Languages "bayt" ܒܝܬ

The word "home" in Allamej is the radical bayt, whose pronunciation is very close to the Semitic words بيت (Arabic), ቤተ (Amharic), ܒܝܬ (Assyrian Aramaic), and בית (Hebrew), with roots going back to Babylonian times. It is an important and sometimes sacred word in the sister Abrahamic cultures such as Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.

Bayt is very commonly used in these cultures. For example, the city of Bethlehem, usually pronounced Bayt (or Bet) Leĥem, may mean "house of bread" or "house of meat," or according to some historians, the house of Leĥem or Laĥmu, an old Babylonian god of fertility. The word is also used to name places and temples.
