"mann-" meaning in All languages combined

See mann- on Wiktionary

Noun [Proto-Germanic]

Etymology: From Proto-Indo-European *mon- (“man”) or *men- (“to mind; to stay”). Alternatively, Kroonen favors the word splitting off from Proto-Indo-European *(dʰ)ǵʰmō, *(dʰ)ǵʰmon- (“human”) in the cases where the -m- wasn't syllabic (which otherwise gave *gum-, see *gumô); since the initial cluster would have been unpronounceable in Germanic, the result is a reduced *(-)man-.
