"ἄμαλλα" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἄμαλλα in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /á.mal.la/, /ˈa.mal.la/, /ˈa.ma.la/, /á.mal.la/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈa.mal.la/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈa.mal.la/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈa.mal.la/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈa.ma.la/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Considered to be a derivation from the verb ἀμάομαι (amáomai, “to gather”). However, if this verb is used primarily for drawing liquids, it can hardly be connected with this noun. One might also think of ἀμάω (amáō, “to reap”), however, given the suffix -λλ-, Beekes calls the word Pre-Greek.
