#Amun
- Cootamundra wattle — A remarkable species of small to medium-sized ornamental tree, native to a restricted area in New South Wales, Australia, but widely naturalized in Mediterranean and temperate regions worldwide. The plant is highly prized in landscaping due to its evergreen, bipinnate foliage with a spectacular bluish-green or silvery (glaucous) tint, and its early late-winter flowering, when the canopy becomes completely covered in dense clusters of fluffy, intensely fragrant, bright golden-yellow globular flowers.
- Allahabad — A highly important historical city located in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, officially renamed Prayagraj in 2018. The city is famous in universal culture as a sacred Hindu pilgrimage site due to its geographical position at the 'Triveni Sangam', the confluence point of the holy rivers Ganges and Yamuna, along with the mythical underground river Sarasvati, hosting the gigantic Kumbh Mela festival.
- Amenemhat — The name borne by four Egyptian pharaohs of the Twelfth Dynasty during the Middle Kingdom, a golden age of ancient Egyptian culture and stability. The name originates from the ancient Egyptian language and translates to 'Amun is at the forefront' or 'Amun is foremost', reflecting the rise of the Theban god Amun to the status of supreme state deity.
- Ammon — A major deity in Egyptian mythology (Amun / Amon), originally associated with the air and hidden aspects of creation, later syncretized with the sun god as Amun-Ra and adopted by the Greeks as the god Ammon. Often depicted with ram horns, his cult was centered at the main temple in Thebes and the famous oracle in the Siwa Oasis, where Alexander the Great was proclaimed a legitimate son of this deity.
- Amon — Supreme divinity in Egyptian mythology, considered the king of gods and creator of the universe, originally worshiped as the god of air and wind in Thebes, and later merged with the sun god under the name Amon-Ra. His name structurally translates to 'The Hidden One' or 'The Invisible One', symbolizing the unseen omnipresence and absolute power governing the cosmic order and pharaonic dynasties.
- Amundsen — The surname of the famous Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen (1872–1928), the first person to reach the South Pole (in December 1911) and leader of the first confirmed aerial expedition over the North Pole. In a broader sense, the name designates a universal symbol of courage, superhuman determination, and excellence in the logistical planning of extreme geographical exploration in polar regions.
- Amundsen-Scott — The permanent American scientific research station located precisely at the geographical South Pole in Antarctica, named in honor of the two great rivals of polar exploration, Roald Amundsen and Robert F. Scott. This base represents the southernmost permanently inhabited place on Earth, serving as a crucial hub for advanced research in astrophysics, seismology, and global climatology.
- Ammunition — An archaic, regional, or popular form of the modern term 'muniție' (ammunition); a collection of cartridges, projectiles, grenades, gunpowder, and other explosive charges used to feed firearms during an armed conflict or for hunting. Preserved in local dialects, the word evokes the transitional military terminology from the beginning of army modernization.
- Upstream — A regional adverbial form used in certain mountainous areas to indicate the direction towards the mountain crest, up the slope, or towards the headwaters of a river. It functions as an antonym for the terms 'avale' or 'ajos', being a spatial orientation element specific to shepherding and lumberjack communities.
