Etymology

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”).
