Literature

Gammut or ~~~Gamut
Gamut g (hard). It is gamma ut, "ut" being the first word in the Guido-von-Arrezzo scale of ut, re mi, fa, sol, la. In the eleventh century the ancient scale was extended a note below the Greek proslambanomy note (our A), the first space of the bass staff. The new note was termed ? (gamma), and when "ut" was substituted by Arrezzo the "supernumerary" note was called gamma or ut, or shortly gamm' ut - i.e. "G ut." The gammut, therefore, properly means the diatonic scale beginning in the bass clef with "G." Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
