Haitian Creole
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From French arme. In French, the plural form armes is commonly preceded by a determiner- such as aux, les or mes- whose final s or x is pronounced /z/ before vowels (and is otherwise silent). As a result, armes was reanalyzed in Haitian Creole as beginning with /z/.

Luxembourgish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Old High German zam, from Proto-Germanic *tamaz. The vowel may be influenced by cognate German zahm. Luxembourgish zam(m) is the expected outcome of the uninflected stem, but one might expect *zuem, *zumm from the inflected forms instead. Also cognate with Dutch tam, English tame.
