[edit] Man/human

Is there any relationship between the word "man" and the word "hu-man"? Thanks. --Eleassar777 12:10, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

no. man is from men-u-os (or similar), human is from gdhom-ion-os (or similar). Irish duine "man" is related to human, though. dab (ᛏ) 12:38, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Deduction

in the Romance languages, homme, uomo, hombre, homem etc. have all come to refer mainly to males, with residual generic meaning.

Actually, in Romanian, om mainly refers to human, not to male. Man (male) is bărbat (from barba = beard) Bogdan | Talk 21:31, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] wiktionary

this isn't a dictionary definition, it's a discussion of the word's complex etymological background. Also, it is an article about a rune, we have articles on all of the Elder Futhark runes (some of them stubs), see Template:Runes. dab (ᛏ) 17:32, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
