    S.v. Proto-Germanic *ēϸman- ~ *ēdman- 'breathing, breath', from PIE *h₁eh₁t-mon- (cf. Skt. ātmán- 'soul, breath').
  • Lloyd, Albert L. and Springer, Otto: 393-394
    Cf. s.v. OHG âtum 'Atem, Hauch', from Proto-Germanic *ǣđma-, related to Ved. ātmā́- 'Hauch, Seele, Selbst' from PIE *ētmē̆n-/mō̆n-.
  • Mayrhofer, Manfred: I:164
    Cf. s.v. Ved. ātmán- 'Hauch, Seele, Selbst', pointing to an apparent PIE paradigm with mobile ablaut *éh₁-mō(n), dat.sg. *h₁t-mén-ei̯, cf. OS âthum 'Atem'.
