"ἄμη" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἄμη in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /á.mɛː/, /ˈa.mi/, /ˈa.mi/, /á.mɛː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈa.me̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈa.mi/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈa.mi/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈa.mi/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The etymology continues to be debated. Hypotheses include: * Formally cognate with Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀔 (a-ma, “harvest”) via Proto-Hellenic *amā, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂mh₁-eh₂, from the root *h₂meh₁- (“to mow, reap, harvest”); compare e.g. ἄμητος (ámētos, “harvest”), Hittite 𒄩𒈨𒌍𒄩 (ḫa-meš-ḫa- /⁠ḫamešḫa-⁠/, “spring”). According to Kloekhorst, the verb ἀμάω (amáō, “to cut down, mow, reap”) is probably derived from ἄμη. * From the PIE root *semH- (“to scoop up, pour”), whence Lithuanian sémti (“to scoop”), sámtis (“ladle”) and Latin sentīna (“bilge water”). * Related to other Indo-European words for “vessel” and “to pour”: ἀμίς (amís, “chamber-pot”), Sanskrit अमत (ámatra, “a large drinking vessel”), Old Armenian ամամ (amam, “to fill, pour”) (whence աման (aman, “vase, vessel, sack”)); from an uncertain root *am- (“to fill”). * Related to or derived from the verb ἀμάομαι (amáomai, “I draw (milk), gather”). (This is not necessarily mutually exclusive with above proposals.)

Hypotheses include:\n* Formally cognate with Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀔 (a-ma, “harvest”) via Proto-Hellenic *amā, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂mh₁-eh₂, from the root *h₂meh₁- (“to mow, reap, harvest”); compare e.g. ἄμητος (ámētos, “harvest”), Hittite 𒄩𒈨𒌍𒄩 (ḫa-meš-ḫa- /⁠ḫamešḫa-⁠/, “spring”). According to Kloekhorst, the verb ἀμάω (amáō, “to cut down, mow, reap”) is probably derived from ἄμη.\n* From the PIE root *semH- (“to scoop up, pour”), whence Lithuanian sémti (“to scoop”), sámtis (“ladle”) and Latin sentīna (“bilge water”).\n* Related to other Indo-European words for “vessel” and “to pour”: ἀμίς (amís, “chamber-pot”), Sanskrit अमत (ámatra, “a large drinking vessel”), Old Armenian ամամ (amam, “to fill, pour”) (whence աման (aman, “vase, vessel, sack”)); from an uncertain root *am- (“to fill”).\n* Related to or derived from the verb ἀμάομαι (amáomai, “I draw (milk), gather”).
