The -ā- in the Sanskrit descendant is an innovation, from the athematic Proto-Indo-European*-C-m̥h₁no- > Proto-Indo-Iranian*-C-aHno- > Sanskrit-C-āna being remodelled for the thematic paradigm. The Middle Indo-Aryan form -mina reflects the regular outcome of Proto-Indo-Iranian*-mHnas, pointing to the regular form being preserved in an unattested Old Indo-Aryan dialect.
Sanskrit: -मान(-māna)(thematic), आन(āna)(athematic)(-ā- in the thematic form is by analogy with the athematic form; the expected thematic form, *-mina, is attested in Middle Indo-Aryan)
