I don’t think Ambar means Cloud, hindi word for it was megh or ghata
Ambar meant like cloth, that hindu gods are adorned with, in their imagery
Like Peetambar, peet for yellow and ambar means cloth

i’ve heard and read Ambar = cloud in Urdu poetry. when Urdu borrowed this word they also included cloud as one of the meanings to it.
