Etymology
From the same root as ames (“to be dirty”).
Noun
ammus m (construct state wammus, plural ammusen, plural construct state wammusen)
Old Irish
Alternative forms
- amas (late form)
Etymology
From a byform *admessus, a derivative of Proto-Celtic *messus, the ancestor of mess (“judgement”). Equivalent henceforth to ad- + mess. The syncope of the front vowel in the second syllable triggered the palatalization of the ms cluster in the oblique stems, with u-infection obscuring the original front vowel in the rest of the declension.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈamus/
Noun
ammus m
- verbal noun of ad·midethar
- attempt, effort
- act of tempting, temptation
- act of attacking; attack
- guess, conjecture
- act of hitting the mark
- (poetry) assonance, imperfect rhyme
