mãndzu
Aromanian edit
Etymology edit
Origin disputed. Compare Daco-Romanian mânz, Meglenitic mǫndz;
- possibly from or related and cognate to Albanian (Gheg) mâz (compare standard mëz, Old Albanian manz) through the substrate,
- or of Illyrian origin. Compare the Thracian word mezenai, "horse", and Messapian Menzana, a horse deity. Compare also Italian manzo, probably ultimately from the same source.
