amidos

Etymology
, an adverbialisation of a nominative adjective. Often found with a preceding or, much like the 🇨🇬.

/nβ/ merged with /mb/ early on (hence vacillating spellings like ). The morpheme boundary, already shaky in the absence of a word such as , collapsed once contamination with the preceding preposition resulted in , no longer analysable as a prefixed form. (Although a prefix did exist, it could not be seen as a constituent of, since that would imply a following element with the impossible onset /mb/.) Now stranded in the interior of the word, /mb/ was subjected to the same intervocalic attrition seen in ,  > ,.
