Thiru A P MASILMANI avargaLae!
//[Middle English, from Old English mann. See man-1 in Indo-European Roots.] //
www.dictionary.com
That is some information of the root word of the English word 'man' that I found on the website www.dictionary.com
You have told me that Devanayap Pavanar had proved the Thamizh word 'maN' in his etymological works to have come from the Thamizh word 'man'
Although the maN in Thamizh means soil or Land and where as the English word 'man' means human being. Is there a connection? Did it go to English from Thamizh? or was it just a coincident in sound?
