m.um denotes a blemish or defect, whether absent from selected youths or imagined as clinging to a person's hand.

The attested use denotes a blemish or defect: Daniel 1:4 describes youths in whom none is found, while Job 31:7 speaks conditionally of one clinging to the speaker's palm.

1. A blemish or defect present or absent · dominant

   Both occurrences use a common masculine singular absolute noun. In Daniel 1:4 the noun occurs in the description of youths qualified for the king's palace, and the APB renders the clause “Youths in whom was no blemish.” In Job 31:7 it occurs in a conditional self-examination, where the APB renders “and a blemish cleaves in my palm,” portraying a defect as attached to the speaker.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “blemish” in both clauses: its absence characterizes the youths in Daniel 1:4, and its possible attachment is pictured in Job 31:7. These renderings confirm the verse-level presentation rather than a precise mapping of every English word.
