Amercement and amitious sound interesting.
Amercement's close in sound to immersement.
And amitious sounds like an unambitious ambitious.
Won't look 'em up. Will wait for wwh to fill us in.
And amygdala is a terrific-sounding word, too.

I couldn't find anything on "amitious" and wonder if it is a typo. amplicate ;is an Italian word, apparently meaning "amplify". I couldn't find any English definition. It was used as software term, but not defined.
