Oman is ኦማን transliterated to omani. The ''o´´ in oman looks like the Geez syllable pharyngeal ´´o'' transliterated: to ´a´´ making the word Oman become Amani/Aman/Amen whicih means ´´true´´ This aman[ usually with the 'a´ accentuated to sound like ´e´= amen ) is used at the end of a prayer to affirm or to plead that what the prayers asks, be granted or become true or be realized. But from the Geez fidal ኦማን the Geez syllable glottal አ transliterated to´´ a´´ makes oman to be transliterated as amani. However the Arabic lexicon versus the Geez / Amharic/ Tigrinya lexicon, may present a different meaning to the word. For instance the meaning of oman in the Quran is a name that means "giver of life," "friend," or "protector. or one with a generous spirit or virtue. Lemba/ Sena ancestor was called ba´aman meaning '' in truth'' the ba- denotes the preposition ´´in´´ amun means ´´truly´´
