Etymology
أَنْتُم is the Arabic independent pronoun for addressing a group that is all male or mixed. It is built from a common Semitic deictic base, reconstructed as Proto-Semitic *ʔantumū, joined to the masculine plural ending -um. The same person ending marks the second person masculine plural on verbs, as in كَتَبْتُمْ, 'you wrote'.
