Were you aware that dreamt is the only English word that ends in -mt?

Question

Those are all in other languages, or variations on "dreamt"

Answer 1

Wikipedia says its true.

Answer 2

Incorrect.

Besides undreamt.
Amt, is a very old word for office, from German.

Dreamt itself is even older, if you were going to argue that route, it's also German.

The abbreviation Mgmt. also counts, because abbrevations are dictionary words. As well as Apmt. EMT, for emergency medical technician, though acronyms are less-words than abbrevations, but EMT gets more use than what it stand for.

There's also Gustav Klimt, an Austrian painter.

Marineamt, a current German word, which means General, this however is not used often in English.

There's also adreamt to be really pedantic. daydreamt, and the rarer outdreamt and redreamt.

The scottish, Fremt, meaning foreign, and because of the meaning, does occasionally get English use.

Of course, here in America, Dreamt is no longer a word. We use, as a strong national standard, dreamed, except in poetry.

Answer 3

I dreamt of another word that ends in -mt, but I forget what it was now.

Answer 4
