While the גמל GaMaL, CAMEL is a large work animal for עמל GHaMaL (work), a tiny hard-working animal is the נמלה NiMaLaH (ant -- Proverbs 6:6. נמלה NiMaLaH may be combining נמוך NaMOOKH (lowly -- see "MEEK") and עמל [A]MaL (work).
Intitial Noon/N is rarely part of a sub-root. So "work" may be seen as the heart of the NiMaLaH (ant).
Ernest David Klein has the Post Biblical Hebrew word נמל NaMaL (port) magically coming from a "metathesis from Greek limen, harbor"…a cognate of leimon, grassy meadow and Latin limus, slime. Instead of this slop -- in a top-rated Hebrew dictionary -- it can be suggested that the word for "port" ( נמל NaMaL ) came from the same Semitic source word for nature's porter or stevedore, the נמלהNiMaLaH (ant).
A PORT, a bay, gulf or haven , is about a topographical breach or מפרץ (Mi)PHRaTS, gulf. But a נמל NaMaL, seaport, is about a work place.New ed. of THE ORIGIN OF SPEECHES http://post.ly/1ow4T lightcatcherbooks amazon.com
