Altaic etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Altaic: *mḕnò
Meaning: self, body
Russian meaning: сам, сущность, тело
Comments: The Turkic form may belong here if it represents a secondary development *bu(-n) 'this' < *bun 'self'; the vocalism, however, speaks against the comparison (*bạ(-n) would be expected). The root reveals contaminations with *méŋu 'whole' q. v. Illich-Svitych (ОСНЯ 2, 70) compares the Turk.-Mong. stem with PKartv. *m(a)-, PU *mū / *mō etc. altet-prnum,altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-turc,altet-mong,altet-tung,altet-kor,altet-jap,altet-reference,

Nostratic etymology :
Search within this database
Eurasiatic: *menV
Meaning: body
Comments: Cf. *mänV.
References: ND 1434 *me(y)n̄U 'oneself, one's own, body' (Alt. + Drav. + scattered IE and SH, hard to distinguish from reflexes of *mänV 'man, person'). In fact the only distinguishing group here is Drav. So Alt. *mḕno may in fact reflect *mänV, and the root for body can be reconstructed as *meŋV (Alt. *meŋu, Drav. *mēn-)? Cf. ST *maŋ 'body' (and SC *HmVŋV 'corpse'). nostret-meaning,nostret-alt,nostret-ura,nostret-drav,nostret-notes,nostret-reference,
