muinél
Old Irish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Celtic *moniklos, cognate with Welsh mwnwgl), derived from Proto-Celtic *monis (from which Middle Irish muin (“neck, nape”) and Welsh mŵn (“neck”)), from Proto-Indo-European *mon-i- (“neck”). Related to Sanskrit मन्या (mányā-, “neck”), Latin monīle (“necklace”), and English mane. Perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to stand out”).[1][2]
