Noun

eame (plural eames)

  1. Obsolete form of eme. (an uncle).
    • 1600, Edward Fairfax, The Jerusalem Delivered of Tasso, Book IV, xlix:
      Three times the shape of my dear mother came, / Pale, sad, dismay'd, to warn me in my dream: // Alas! how far transformed from the same, / Whose eyes shone erst like Titan's glorious beam. // Daughter, she says, fly, fly, behold thy dame, / Foreshows the treasons of thy wretched eame.
    (Can we find and add a quotation of Spenser to this entry?)
