Kabyle

Etymology

From the same root as ames (to be dirty).

Noun

ammus m (construct wammus, plural ammusen, construct plural wammusen)

  1. filth, dirt

Old Irish

Alternative forms

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.

  1. verbal noun of ad·midethar
  2. attempt, effort
  3. act of tempting, temptation
  4. act of attacking; attack
  5. guess, conjecture
