Amar!
Amar! (?) a kind of slippery fish, an eel (?) Only in expres- sion amar! -- vikkhepika eel -- wobbler, one
who practices eel -- wriggling, fr. ˚vikkhepa "oscillation like the a. fish". In English idiom "a man who sits
on the fence" D i.24; M i.521; Ps i.155. The expln. given by Bdhgh at DA i.115 is "amar! n!ma maccha --
j!ti, s! ummujjana -- nimmujjan -- !di vasena . . gahetu' na sakkoti" etc. This meaning is not beyond doubt,
but Kern's expln. Toev. 71 does not help to clear it up.
