Dutch Etymology First attested as amuthon in 918-948. Derived from a compound of nl odt ā watercourse, river and the dative plural form of odt *mūtha mouth (a variant with Ingvaeonic loss of the nasal before a dental with compensatory lengthening of the preceding vowel; contrast "standard" Istvaeonic odt munt) or of ofs mūtha mouth; this latter element (modern Dutch nl muide) referring to its location at the mouth of the Vecht river, with the dative being used as a dative of location.
