| Comparing the root QSM to, what I think, are its variants *GDM, GZM, G$M XTM, XSM, X$M, XTM KSM, KTM QDM, *QTM, QSM or גדם*, גזם, גשם חטם, חסם, חשם, חתם קדם, קטם*, קסם makes me think that QASAM is creating or conjuring something that appears, or is suggested to be, substantial, material or realistic; or using something that has bulk (as in Nu. 22:7, U-QSAM-IYM B-YAD-AM, unless 'in their hands' is metaphoric). I doubt that M-NAXE$ is related to NAXA$, 'snake'. Some think that M-ONEN (Deut. 18:10) is a looker at clouds, but this is also doubtful.
