Allmendee, feminine (Alemannian), ‘common land,’ from Middle High German almende, feminine, ‘common’; on account of the Middle High German spelling almeinde and algemeine, the derivation from gemeine is probable (Old High German *alagimeinida). The derivation from an assumed Old High German alagimannida ‘community,’ must be rejected, as such a form could never have existed. —
