μάγγανον
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Sanskrit मञ्जुल (mañjula, “charming, lovely”) and मङ्गल (maṅgala, “good omen, bliss”) were proposed as cognates, but this is not credible and they are semantically too far off. Connection to the group of μάσσω (mássō, “to knead”) is unconvincing too. Van Beek suggests a comparison with μηχανή (mēkhanḗ, “contrivance”); the pair of words shows prenasalization and interchange of "γ" and "χ", which both are typical reflexes of a Lua error in Module:parameters at line 307: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "pregrc" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF. word.
