"ἄμμος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἄμμος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ám.mos/, /ˈam.mos/, /ˈa.mos/, /ám.mos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈam.mos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈam.mos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈam.mos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈa.mos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Traditionally considered a contamination of ἄμαθος (ámathos, “sand”) and ψάμμος (psámmos, “sand”). Even if not, likely a loan from some European substrate; said substrate status makes phonetic analysis such as the contamination theory above difficult, as the word likely does not follow traditional Indo-European sound laws.
