Etymology

From Proto-Germanic *amsaz, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃émsos. Germanic cognates include Old Norse áss (shoulder); Indo-European cognates include Latin umerus, Sanskrit अंस (áṃsa).

Noun

𐌰𐌼𐍃 • (ams) m

  1. (hapax) shoulder

Declension

Only the accusative plural amsans is attested. Based on this form, an alternative reconstruction of this word could be *amsa (masculine an-stem), but this is etymologically less likely. Lua error: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value)
