Emment

Emment?

a surname in the 1880s (i think) I searched it

if only I could change a letter and add a letter

Nice play!

Apparently it’s also an old form of eminent.

two dukes, sixteen earls, two dowager countesses, seven lords, seven lords of session, thirteen baronets, four commanders of the forces in Scotland, and five emment men

You wouldn’t be the only one :D

I also use the secret technique “put an O on the end and see if it’s Italian (or Spanish)”.

emmenat (french, conjugated form of the verb “emmener”). Conjugation French verb emmener - Conjugate emmener in French

emmena, the “past historic” of the verb (3 p. sg.).

What is the past historic? Sofia essentially said I wouldn’t understand ^^

You mean simple past (passé simple)? It’s a bit like preterit, but mostly used in written form, in novels.
