 Man , ‘15 articles,’ is met with even in the 13th ); its relation to mand,  maund, ‘basket,’ is obscure.

 (2.),, ‘almond,’ from the  mandel,  mandala, ; from  mandola; corresponding lo  and  amandola,  amande (hence  amandel,  almond). ἀμυγδάλη is usually regarded as the ultimate source of these cognates.   ', ',, ‘mangle,’ from mange, , ‘machine for rolling woven stuffs, catapult’;   mangel,  to  mangle. The origin of the word is sometimes ascribed, on account of the forms, , to the  root manth, ‘to turn,’ which appears in  mǫndull, ‘handle’ ( of a hand-mill). Allied terms in show, however, that g in the word  must be very old;  mangano, ‘sling,’  mangoneau, ‘sling,’ whence  mangonel. There is no type of the whole class; its source is said to be  μάγγανον, ‘warlike machine’; perhaps an instrument of this kind furnished the model for the mangle.  ,, ‘to want, lack, be lacking,’ from mangeln,  mangolôn, ‘to dispense with, miss, be in want of'; , from  mangel, , ‘want, defect.’ To this is allied  manc, ‘want, defect,’ also  mangôn, męngen, ‘to be deficient’;  mangelen, ‘to dispense with.’ A  root mang, mangw, does not occur elsewhere; it may be  allied to  mancus, ‘mutilated, powerless, deficient,’ from which early derivatives were formed in ,  gemancian, ‘to mutilate’; to this  mank, ‘limping, deficient,’ and  to mangle are also akin.  ,, ‘beet,’ from mangolt, ; its connection with  does not seem to be. If it is to be connected, as is usually done, with the proper name Managolt, the meaning is ‘powerful ruler’ (manag and waltan;  Πολυκράτης), but scarcely ‘very gracious’. See. By what means the plant acquired this name can no longer be discovered. Others regard as, ‘gold-neck’ ; but mane-, ‘neck,’ is not found elsewhere in.   ,, ‘manner, fashion, mannerism,’ from maniere, , ‘manner,’ from  manière.  , see.  ,, ‘man, husband,’ from man(nn),  man(nn), , ‘person, man.’ The general meaning ‘person’ still appears in  , , as well as in the  discussed under. In, man, mǫn (n to nn), might be used equally of a male or female, although the former sense preponderated;  man, ‘person, man, woman,’  man,  maðr,  manna, ‘person, man.’ The word followed the declension of the two stems mann- and mannan- (thus in , , , and ); from the latter the modern   has been obtained. and mann- for manw- is based on an older manu- (like  on kennu-, genu-; see also ). This Aryan mánu-, ‘person,’ appears also in, but it was used also as Manu, ‘the father of mankind.’ To this corresponds the Mannus in Tacitus, ‘the progenitor of the West Teutons’;  further  manus, , and manuša, ‘person,’ perhaps also  mążĭ, ‘man.’ The  manu- is usually connected with the root man, ‘to think’ ; in that case the  sense is ‘thinking being.’ This cannot, however, be definitely regarded as the  source of the word. It is scarcely probable that the Aryans considered ‘thinking’ to be the essential characteristic of a man. We should rather assume from the earliest Aryan literature, the Vedas, that the  Aryan felt he was closely allied to the brutes, since the Vedic Indian actually calls himself paçu, ‘beast.’ The literal meaning of Aryan manu-, ‘person,’ can hardly be ascertained now. See.  , see.  , ‘everybody,’ from  manne-gelîch, menneclîch, ‘every’;  manne gelîch,  manno glîh, ‘each of men,’ whence  manniclîch and mannolîch, ‘every, each.’ Similarly  is based on  tagogilîh, ‘every day.’  gilîh, ‘every,’ is identical with.  ,, for earlier , ‘to splash, dabble,’ from *mangezen,  *mangazzen; allied to.  ,, ‘cloak, mantle,’ from the  mantel, mandel,  mantal, mandal, ; on account of the non-permutation of t to z the word cannot be cognate with  mantel,  mantle,  mǫttul, , ‘cloak,’ and hence it is not
