STRONGS H4478: Abbreviations
† I. מָן noun masculineNumbers 11:9 manna (= Arabic bdb057702, known to Bedouin in Sinai Peninsula; a juice exuding in heavy drops from twigs (some say also the leaves) of Ṭarfa (Ṭŭrfa) tree (tamarix gallica mannifera) in West Sinai Peninsula, end of May and in June, sweet, sticky, honey-like; compare DiExodus 16:36 RobBRi. 75, 115, 590 EbGS 233 ff., 574 ff. SocZMG xxxiv. 1881, 254); — מ׳ absolute Exodus 16:15 + 12 times, suffix מַנֵךָ Nehemiah 9:20: — manna: מַההֿוּא יָֽךְעוּ לֹא כִּי הוּא מָן וַיּאֹמְרוּ Exodus 16:15; Exodus 16:31; Exodus 16:33; Exodus 16:35; Exodus 16:35; Numbers 11:6, 7, 9 (described Exodus 16:14, 31; Numbers 11:7; accompare dew Exodus 16:14; Numbers 11:9); ceased after Israel reached Canaan Joshua 5:12 (twice in verse); as 2nd accusativeהֶאֱכִילְךָ אֶתהַֿמָּן Deuteronomy 8:3, compare Deuteronomy 8:16 מָן לֶאֱכֹל וַיַּמְטֵר עֲלֵיהֶם Psalm 78:24; מִפִּיהֶם לֹאמָֿנַעְת וּמַנְךָ Nehemiah 9:20.

† II. מָן in Exodus 16:15 (with reference to the manna) יָֽדְעוּ לֹא כִּי הוּא מָן אֶלאָֿחִיו אִיש וַיּאֹמְרו מַההֿוּא, most probably 'What is it?' the question being intended as a popular etymology of מָן 'manna,' based upon the late Aramaic bdb057703 What ? (man is 'Who?' in Arabic, Aramaic מַן bdb057704), Mandaean (מאן), Ethiopic (manu), 'What?' in these dialects being bdb057705 מָה bdb057706 מָא (Ethiopic ment); מָן in the sense of 'What?' must correspond to the later Syriac bdb057707 contracted from bdb057708 Targum מָדֵין Nö§ 68 WSG 125).
