I forbid anyone from quoting "The hills are alive with the sound of music" in relation to Isaac's post.

Subject: [b-hebrew] The act עקם AQAM

Yes! AQAM is, indeed, a variant of

AQAB, AQAD, AQAL, AQAM, AQAP,*AQAC, AQA$

עקב, עקד, עקל, עקם, עקף, *עקץ, עקש

Possibly related to them is the latter עכוז AKUZ, 'buttocks'.

It appears to me that AQAM has a meaning related to QAM, 'rose', as 'to bend' is 'to lift up, to create a full hill-like shape'.
