Etymology
Manḥ comes from the triliteral Semitic root m-n-ḥ, meaning to give or grant. As a maṣdar, or verbal noun, it names the act itself, the granting of something to someone. The root is old and shared across Semitic languages. Hebrew minḥah, meaning gift or offering, comes from the same root and was used for tribute and ritual offerings.
