a. Arab. mandil: see mandil.<br />
manna \ (...) G. Ebers (Durch Gosen zum Sinai), gives plausible reasons for believing that the<br />
Ancient Egyptian mannu <strong>de</strong>noted the exudation of Tamarix gallica. As the Arab. mann has the<br />
same sense, it se<strong>em</strong>s possible that the Heb. word may represent the name anciently current in<br />
the Sinaitic wil<strong>de</strong>rness for this natural product, which in many respects agrees with the<br />
<strong>de</strong>scription of the miraculous manna, and which is still locally regar<strong>de</strong>d as a <strong>de</strong>w falling from<br />
the sky...<br />

the same word prece<strong>de</strong>d by the Arabic article) which reigned at Cordo-va 10871147.<br />
marcasite \(...) The etymology is obscure, as the Arabic marqashitha or marqashita, often cited<br />
as the source, is probably adopted from some European language.<br />
margarite \ (...) The Pahlavi marvarit, Pers. mervarid, Syriac marganitha (whence Arab.<br />

Marid \repr. two Arabic forms: ‘marid pr. pple. of marada to rebel, and ma‘rid, f. the same<br />
root.<br />
marzipan \(...) and ‘a mediæval coin’. Kluyver, in Zeitschr. f. <strong>de</strong>utsche Wortforschung July<br />
1904, ingeniously tries to prove that the last-mentioned sense is the source of all the others. He<br />
i<strong>de</strong>ntifies the word with med.L. matapanus, a Venetian coin bearing a figure of Christ on a<br />
throne (Du Cange), and suggests that it represents Arab. mauthaban ‘a king that sits still’<br />

mate \(...) The Rom. word is a. Pers. mat at a loss, helpless (used in shah mat ‘the king is<br />
helpless’, checkmate). Gil<strong>de</strong>meister, Dozy, and other mo<strong>de</strong>rn scholars, dispute the customary<br />
view that the Persian word is a. Arab. mat ‘he has died’.<br />
matrass \ (...) Devic suggests adoption from the Arab. matrah leather bottle; cf. mod.L.<br />
matracium ‘a little sack, wherein is calcinated tartar or the like, pricked here and there for the<br />
<strong>em</strong>ission of liquors’ (tr. Blancard's Phys. Dict., ed. 2, 1693).<br />
