ammang

Ao

Etymology

From Proto-Central Naga *a-ma(ŋ).

Noun

ammang

  1. (Chungli) darkness

Usage notes

  • Bruhn defines this word as a verb (which its Mongsen counterpart is) but in Chungli it is generally attested as a noun.
  • The standard Biblical spelling distinguishes by spelling ammang "night" and amang (“to believe”). The doubling of m has no phonetic significance.
