ament
Luxembourgish
Etymology
From lb fr moment, in part through lb de Moment (itself from the French). Ultimately from lb la momentum.
Loss of initial m- probably through rebracketing of such collocations as lb am Ament, lb an deem Ament; compare de im Moment at the moment, de in dem Moment at that moment. The exact form lb Ament then through influence by synonymous lb Abléck glance of the eye.
Pronunciation
lb /aˈmænt/ [ɑˈmænt]
Noun
m Amenter

lb Kanns du een Ament waarden, wann ech glift. Can you wait one moment, please.
