namas

== Abenaki == === Etymology === From Proto-Algonquian *name·ʔsa (“fish”). === Noun === namas (animate, plural namasak) fish namas wôbigo ― (the) fish is white ==== Derived terms ==== namasiia (fish-meat) == Lithuanian == === Etymology === From Proto-Balto-Slavic *damús (“house”), from Proto-Indo-European *domos, from *dṓm. Cognate with Latvian nams, Proto-Slavic *dȍmъ, Latin domus, Ancient Greek δόμος (dómos), Sanskrit दम (dáma). The etymology seems rather secure despite the irregular sound change from *d- to *n-. The original d may be seen in dialectal api̇̀dėmė (“landplot between two homesteads”); compare the more recently formed apýnamė (“area surrounding a house”). The assimilation is most frequently explained as from the zero-grade *dm- > *nm-, with subsequent generalization onto the full-grade stem. Compare Avestan 𐬥𐬨𐬁𐬥𐬀 (nmāna, “house, quarters”). However, the only zero-grade derivative actually attested in Lithuanian, dimstis (“village, estate”) < *dm̥-st-i-, lacks this particular sound change. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈnaː.mɐs/ === Noun === nãmas m (plural namai̇̃) stress pattern 4 house (residential dwelling) (in the plural) home (the place where one lives); family estate, homestead Šiañdien di̇̀rbu i̇̀š namų̃ ― I'm working from home today.
