mantia
Dacian
editEtymology
editConsidered as a Dacian word by Furnée (1972: 209, 272), "with no apparent reason" according to Beekes, who considers it a Mediterranean wanderwort. Compare Ancient Greek βάτος (bátos, “bramble”) and Proto-Albanian *manta (Albanian man (“mulberry”), Gheg Albanian mand(ë) 'mulberry(-tree)' and Tosk Albanian mën). Furnée compares Sardian mat(t)a "brushwood, brush-vegetation; perennial plant" and Basque mata (“tree-stump”), and states that βάτος (bátos) cannot be separated from these words.
