mãndzu

Aromanian

Etymology

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.
