mahnit in Serbo-Croatian

IPA: /mǎxnit/ Forms: màhnit [canonical], ма̀хнит [Cyrillic], mànit [alternative] [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: Uncertain. A derivation has been suggested from Ottoman Turkish معند (muʼannit) (ultimately active participle of form II from the Arabic root ع ن د (ʕ-n-d)), or less likely from Greek μάνητα (mánita, “madness”), both of which, however, would leave the h in the word unexplained. To supply this deficiency, influence from native máhati (“to wave”), mȃh (“swing, wave, sweep”) has been proposed. Etymology templates: {{unc|sh}} Uncertain, {{der|sh|ota|معند|tr=muʼannit}} Ottoman Turkish معند (muʼannit), {{!}} |, {{ar-form|II|nocap=1}} form II, {{der|sh|ar|-}} Arabic, {{der|sh|el|μάνητα|t=madness}} Greek μάνητα (mánita, “madness”) Head templates: {{sh-adj|head=màhnit}} màhnit (Cyrillic spelling ма̀хнит)
