Pronounced MU"JAM. The plural is MA"AJIM.
The term QAMOOS (plural QAWAMEES) is commonly used for "dictionary," so one should be familiar with it for reading/listening comprehension purposes. But QAMOOS means "sea" or "ocean" and was chosen as a title for a particular dictionary. The lexicographer wanted to impress the idea that the Arabic language was as vast as the ocean. Since then, the term became associated with dictionaries in general, but MU"JAM remains my preference.
