|etymtx=Grammatical information: adj.<br />Meaning: [[dim]], [[faint]], [[obscure]] (Archil.).<br />Other forms: <b class="b3">ἀμυδᾶναι· κρύψαι</b> H.<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: Unknown. In meaning and form, [[ἀμαυρός]] is close, but the two cannot be combined as IE. One proposes contamination in such cases, but this is rather gratuitous (thus influence of [[φαιδρός]] is quite in the air). <b class="b3">ἀμυδ-ᾶναι</b> can continue <b class="b2">*h₂mud-</b>. One compares OCS <b class="b2">mъdьl-ostъ</b> [[weakness]]; however, this form cannot contain <b class="b2">*mud-</b>, as Winter's Law would give a long vowel.
