Tumah is a noun. Tamei is an adjective.
Wolf, so why can’t I call newspaper tumah as in a noun form?
I call the newspaper itself tumah.
How would you call an idol, for example. Can I say an idol is tumah or do I say it is tamei?
If I need to say an idol is tamei and not tumah, then I think we can say inanimate objects are not tumah, but rather they are tamei, they transmit tumah.
Nothing is Tumah. Something can be TAMEI and be a source of TUMAH, but an object cannot be TUMAH in and of itself.
As far as I know a mes is tumah and a Jew can be tumah as well (and if my recollection serves me well, so can a shoretz).
