Re: mantā (mantaa) as absolutive

Dear Friends,

The normal absolutive of the verb man, maññati (ma~n~nati)  is mantvā (mantvaa, "having thought, having considered, etc."), but Fahs Grammatik (page 327) says that the form mantā (mantaa) also occurs. Has anyone ever seen this form in this usage (as opposed to the plural of the noun manta, "spells")?
