"amžius" meaning in All languages combined

See amžius on Wiktionary

Noun [Lithuanian]

IPA: [ˈaːmʲʒʲʊs]
Etymology: Cognate with Latvian mužs (“life”), Old Prussian amsis, amsin (“people”), with further origin unclear: * King derives the Baltic terms from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ems-ǵʰ-, an extension of *h₂ems- (“to give birth, beget”), comparing Hittite 𒄩𒀭𒍝𒀸𒊭𒀸 (ḫa-an-za-aš-ša-aš, “offspring”) in particular. The hypothetical series of phonetic developments is Proto-Indo-European *h₂ems-ǵʰ- > Proto-Balto-Slavic *hams-ź- > Proto-Baltic *amhź- > Lithuanian *āmź- > ámžius. This seems most tenable, when considering phonetics and semantics. * Fraenkel tentatively connects the word to Bulgarian мъж (mǎž, “man”), and thus implicitly derives the words from Proto-Balto-Slavic *mangjás (“man; husband”). * Heidermanns tentatively derives the word from an earlier *au-miź-i-, from *h₂ew (“away”) + *h₃meyǵʰ- (“to urinate”), with semantic development "to urinate away" > "to seed (life)" > "life, era". This is semantically rather ad hoc.

The hypothetical series of phonetic developments is Proto-Indo-European *h₂ems-ǵʰ- > Proto-Balto-Slavic *hams-ź- > Proto-Baltic *amhź- > Lithuanian *āmź- > ámžius. This seems most tenable, when considering phonetics and semantics.\n* Fraenkel tentatively connects the word to Bulgarian мъж (mǎž, “man”), and thus implicitly derives the words from Proto-Balto-Slavic *mangjás (“man; husband”).\n* Heidermanns tentatively derives the word from an earlier *au-miź-i-, from *h₂ew (“away”) + *h₃meyǵʰ- (“to urinate”), with semantic development \"to urinate away\" > \"to seed (life)\" > \"life, era\".
