Etymology
Probably from Univerbation of ܡܘܿ (mō) + ܡܸܢܕܝܼ (mindī), literally “What thing?”, compare the alternative form ܡܵܕܝܼ (mādī) formed with ܡܵܐ (mā) rather than ܡܘܿ (mō). Also often used in some dialects is ܡܸܢܕܝܼ ܡܵܐ (mā mindī, literally “What thing?”). Also proposed is
Univerbation of ܡܘܿ (mō) + ܐܵܕܝܼ (ādī), literally “What is this?”.
