allemal

== German == === Etymology === Compare Dutch allemaal. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈaləˌmaːl/, /ˌaləˈmaːl/ === Adverb === allemal at any rate, at all events, by far (formal, poetic) always (old spelling) all times, each time, every time ==== Usage notes ==== In the latter case, when meaning “all times, each time”, contemporary spelling requires alle Mal (or alle Male) to be spelt as two separate words. A violation of this rule is, however, not likely to be a cardinal error since separating the sense of “always” from that of “each time” is quite difficult, and often arbitrary.
