Etymology

Attestations with the meaning “power, consciousness” support a connection with Sanskrit ?? (áma-, “strength”), Avestan ????????????? (??ma, “attacking power, strength, potence”); From Proto-Indo-European *h?emh?- (“take hold of; be strong”). This root has been connected with Ancient Greek ?????? (ómnumi, “swear”), Sanskrit ?????? (amánti, “take hold of, swear”), and most likely Latin am? (“love”).

Must be separated from ãmalioti (“talk nonsense”), of onomatopoeic origin. See am?s?ti (“yap, yelp”).
