Tocharian B
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Cognate with Tocharian A mänt (“how”), from Proto-Tocharian [Term?], according to Adams from pre-Tocharian *mén tō, from Proto-Indo-European *mén (“how, when”) *tō (relative pronoun, from the old ablative of *só), the first element of which is also found in mäkte. Indo-European cognates may include Hittite 𒈠𒀀𒀭 (ma-a-an /mān/, “like, as, how; if, when(ever)”), Luwian 𒈠𒀀𒀭 (ma-a-an /mān/, “when, whenever, if”), Old Irish má (“when”), and perhaps Ancient Greek μέν (mén, “while, so”), μά (má, “by”) and/or μήν (mḗn, “surely”).
