Etymology

From earlier *mandin, which is preserved in the present stem mîn-; akin to Central Kurdish مان (man), Southern Kurdish مەندن (menin), Zazaki menden, Gurani مەندەی (meney), Talysh mande, Persian ماندن. The form shift from -and- to -a- is after when -and- standardized as the past stem final of transitive verbs, but has been preserved in mandî (“tired”).
