Where this word comes from
Perhaps from em, but blended with Norwegian myrja (“mass, ember”). Ultimately from Old Norse eimyrja (“embers”), from Proto-Germanic *aimuzjǭ, equivalent to eimr + yrja. The form emmer seems to have been used originally as a singular, compare the variant emme (“ember”). Compare Old English ǣmyrġe (“ember”) and Old High German eimuria (cf. German Ammer in dialectal High German). See also Old Danish ildmørre (“glowing ash, ember”) and Old Danish myrje (“glowing ash, ember”).
