in JBA the final mem often dropped, e.g. קאי and the verb is treated as if it were initial waw in the afel; see also s.v. q) adv. In JLA and related dialects the Ct (i.e. reflexive of the causative) אִתָקַם is easily distinguished from the Dt אִתקַיַים ; not so in unvocalized Syriac where the form ܐܬܩܝܡ‏ can be either stem in the earliest mss., although the Ct is often spelled with orthographic double taw or the taw's phonetic doubling explicitly marked with qushaya. In JLAtg the peal infinitive is irregular: מְקִים

Many of the plethora of meanings ascribed to this verb in DJBA belong rather to the simple sense "to be present", while the special meaning is in fact conveyed by the preposition or the nominal relations.
The pael meaning "to swear", "make a covenant" may be understood as separate denominatives from qyām "covenant".
Students of Hebrew should note the difference between that language and Aramaic here: In Biblical Hebrew קום is "to arise, stand up" while "to stand, stop" is עמד. In Aramaic קום is used for both of these senses.
