Hi,
Thanks for the lead. It it primary (kita) or secondary (taddhita) derivation?
Duroiselle list it as kita.
Thanks,
Rahula

Dear
Rahula,
In KhA,
123 we find the following:
manuno
apaccāti manussā. porāṇā pana bhaṇanti —
mana-ussannatāya manussā. te jambudīpakā,
aparagoyānakā, uttarakurukā, pubbavidehakāti
catubbidhā, idha jambudīpakā adhippetā.
which
connects manussa
with the offspring of manu
(manuno apaccā) or
a
"fullness of mind" (mana-ussannatāya
), referring to the inhabitants of
Jambudīpa.
In
standard etymology, it is derived from the Sanskrit word manuḥ
(manus)
with a -ya
ending which is a taddhita
suffix, which in this case changes a noun (manus,
"man, mankind, father of men") into an adjective
(manuṣya,
"human, manly, friendly to man") while still
retaining its nominal usage ("man, human being").
See MW.
I assume
manu is derived from the root man ("to
think") as that is one of its meanings ("thinking,
wise, intelligent")
Hope that
helps,
Bryan

Manussa
Hi,
Is "manussa" one word or combination of two words
- manu + ussa? How is manussa derived?
Thanks,
Rahula
