Am- is not a prefix in its own right.It may form a part of another prefix (such as amphi- in 'amphitheatre' or ambi- in 'ambivalent', both meaning 'both').It may include the prefix plus the beginning of the root, as in 'amorphous' (a- meaning 'without' and morphe meaning 'form').In words like 'amatory' and 'ambulance', there is no prefix; the root just happens to start with am (respectively, amator meaning 'lover' and ambulans meaning 'walking').
