German sammeln; (others regard the beginning ἆ as euphonic and the word as allied to Latinmeto, English mow, thus making the sense of cutting primary, and that of gathering in secondary; cf. Vanicek, p. 673)); frequent in the Greek poets, to reap, mow down: τάς χώρας, Jas_5:4.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀμάω [page 25] The word is almost entirely poetical in earlier Greek, though found in Herodotus. Plutarch has it, and P Hib I. 47 12 (an uneducated letter of B.C. 256), θερίζειν δὲ καὶ ἀμᾶν , to mow and to reap, which indicates its place in the vernacular.
