רמי בר חמא Rami bar Chama
Amora of Babylonia · 4th generation (c. 320–350 CE) — named 230 times across 32 tractates of the Bavli.
Rami bar Chama, of the fourth Babylonian generation, was Rav Chisda's student and his son-in-law, and the Talmud presents him as quick and incisive — a man who would rather reason a matter out from first principles than search for a tradition about it, which is exactly the ground on which his colleagues answered him.
He is a frequent disputant of Rava, and the two are named together more than with anyone else. He is cited some two hundred and thirty times, heaviest in Ketubot and the gates of Nezikin. In this index bare רמי is never counted as his name, since it is also an ordinary Aramaic verb.
Sharp and quick. Bare רמי is NOT matched — it is the ordinary Aramaic verb.
