adja-stemsharp or acrid in taste; sour, bitterProbably from Proto-Indo-European *h₂h₃m-ró-s, more cautiously *H(e/o)m-ró-s, a *-ró- formation belonging to the disputed family represented by *h₂eh₃mós and conventionally connected with the root *h₂eh₃-. The Proto-Germanic -p- is secondary: pre-Germanic -mr- developed an epenthetic homorganic stop, *-mr- > -mbr-, before Grimm’s Law, yielding *ampra-. Although such nasal-stop epenthesis is phonetically well motivated, clear Germanic parallels for its specifically pre-Germanic chronology are lacking Heidermanns 1993: 99–100Lloyd & Springer 1988: s.v. ampfaraWodtko et al. 2008: 202–204.
