Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `trench, channel' (Il.). Cf. ἀμάρευμα· ἁθροίσματα βορβόρου H. and ἡ ἐν τοῖς κήποις ὑδρορόη, παρὰ τό ἅμα καί ἴσως καί ὁΏμαλῶς ῥεῖν, η οἷον ἁμαρόη τις οὖσα H.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: The Hesychius gloss is interesting as it gives a reconstruction for the supposed origin; *ἀμα-ρόη; the idea is incorrect, of course. - Connected with δι-, ἐξ-αμᾶν as meaning `dig out', ἄμη `shovel' (Schulze Q. 365f., Solmsen Wortforschung 194ff.). Crönert s. v. reminds of Cypr. ἀμιραφι. - Now considered cognate with Hitt. amii̯ar(a)- `canal': G. Neumann, Heth. u. luw. Sprachgut 91f, Laroche, BSL 51, XXXIII. (But the words have only am- in common.) Oriental loanword? But it could as well be a word from the Greek-Anatolian substratum. - Cf. also Alb. amë `river-bed, source' and river names like Amantia, Amana, Amara etc., Krahe Beitr. z. Namenforschung 4, 52f. Cf. Kuiper, Nowele 25, 1995, 73-5. This comparison is formally better than that with Hittite. - Cf. ἀμαρία.Page in Frisk: 1,86Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἀμάρα
