II. מָן in [Exod 16:15] (with reference to the manna) יָָֽדְעוּ לֹא כִּי הוּא מָן אֶלאָֿחִיו אִישׁ וַיּאֹמְרוּ מַההֿוּא, most probably 'What is it?' the question being intended as a popular etymology of מָן 'manna,' based upon the late Aramaic What ? (man is 'Who?' in Arabic, Aramaic מַן ), Mandaean (מאן), Ethiopic (manu), 'What?' in these dialects being מָה מָא (Ethiopic ment); מָן in the sense of 'What?' must correspond to the later Syriac contracted from מָדֵין ᵑ7 Nö§ 68 WSG 125).
