AMY

Amy (pronounced "uh-mee") is a word that comes from Law French and means "a friend." It is an alternative spelling of the word "ami." In legal terms, it is used in phrases like "prochein ami" which means "next friend."

Example 1: "I am grateful to have Amy as my friend. She always supports me."

Example 2: "The court appointed Amy as the prochein ami for the child in the custody case."

These examples show how "amy" is used to refer to a friend in everyday language and in legal terms. In the second example, "amy" is used in the legal phrase "prochein ami" to refer to someone who is appointed by the court to act as a friend of a child in a legal case.
