Etymology

Per Kloekhorst, from Proto-Anatolian *mΓ³n or similar; cognate with Lycian 𐊎𐊚 (mαΊ½, β€œas; so, likewise”), Hittite π’ˆ π’€€π’€­ (ma-a-an /⁠mān⁠/, β€œlike, as, how; if, whenever”) and Palaic π’ˆ π’€€π’€­ (ma-a-an /⁠mān⁠/, β€œwhen”). The Proto-Anatolian word is of uncertain but probably Proto-Indo-European origin: further compare Old Irish mΓ‘ (β€œwhen”), Tocharian A mΓ€nt (β€œhow?”), Tocharian B mant (β€œso”, conj.) and perhaps Ancient Greek ΞΌΞ­Ξ½ (mΓ©n, β€œwhile, so”).
