Lithuanian

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Attestations with the meaning “power, consciousness” support a connection with Sanskrit अम (áma-, strength), Avestan 𐬇𐬨𐬀 (ə̄ma, attacking power, strength, potence);[1] From Proto-Indo-European *h₃emh₃- (take hold of; be strong). This root has been connected with Ancient Greek ὄμνυμι (ómnumi, swear), Sanskrit अमन्ति (amánti, take hold of, swear), and most likely Latin amō (love).[2]

Must be separated from ãmalioti (talk nonsense), of onomatopoeic origin. See am̃sėti (yap, yelp).
