'alyaman Yemen
yamaniy Yemeni
yamiyn right side
yamiyniy right (political)
'ayman (fem. yumnay) right
Clearly the root y-m-n means "right" (side) as in Hebrew.

For those with a better knowledge of Arabic than I, how is the name of
the country "Yemen" spelled? Does it begin with a ya or a jim? Also,
does anyone know what it actually means?
Many thanks,
