Amphibolous \Am*phib"o*lous\, a. [L. amphibolus, Gr. ? thrown
about, doubtful. See {Amphibole}.]
[1913 Webster]
1. Ambiguous; doubtful. [Obs.]
[1913 Webster]

Never was there such an amphibolous quarrel -- both
parties declaring themselves for the king. --Howell.
[1913 Webster]

2. (Logic) Capable of two meanings.
[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]
