[edit] Mah+abad

The article says: The name of 'Mahabad' (mah+abad) is the Persian translation of the ancient Mannaean name meaning place of moon, which is also a cognate with the Kurdish word mang. I dont know to what degree this is true, as the poorly known Mannaeans themselves were absorbed by Medes; but I'm sure that the Persian word 'mah' as in 'Mah'abad means Medes or Media (Thus Mahabad meaning Cultivated by Medes or Land of Medes). Kurdish translation of this 'Mah' is Mang which also can be seen in the name of Kurds for themselves KurdManj (or KurManj). Asoyrun 17:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
