Origin: Probably a borrowing from Norn, combined with an English element. Etymons: an unattested Norn compound, -y suffix⁶.

Etymology: Probably < an unattested Norn compound (compare Norwegian regional aale addle n. and Norwegian regional mutt small thing (see mitty n.¹), so called from its habit of regurgitating stomach oil through the mouth and nostrils when alarmed) + -y suffix⁶. Compare later Shetland Scots mootie storm petrel (see mitty n.¹).The forms alamonti, almonti probably originated as typographical errors for alamouti, almouti. The forms allamoth, allarmoth perhaps reflect the original (unsuffixed) compound. In form oily-mootie with folk-etymological alteration after oily adj.
