a. [ L. amphibolus, Gr. &unr_; thrown about, doubtful. See Amphibole. ] [ 1913 Webster ]
Never was there such an amphibolous quarrel -- both parties declaring themselves for the king. Howell. [ 1913 Webster ]
An amphibolous sentence is one that is capable of two meanings, not from the double sense of any of the words, but from its admitting of a double construction; e. g., “The duke yet lives that Henry shall depose.” Whately. [ 1913 Webster ]
