"nāmants" meaning in Proto-Celtic

See nāmants in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: According to Sanas Cormaic, from *an- (“un-, not”) + the present participle of *amati (“to love”), with a reconstructed PIE *n(e)-h₂em-nt-, which would make this noun cognate with Latin amō. However, Matasović disputes this, stating that it looks like folk etymology and that the root *am- is otherwise unattested in Celtic.
