Thiru Neduncheziyan avargale!

man [ Áý ] is the root for both (i) maanthan, manithan and manpathai, mannuyir , mannan on one hand and (ii) maN [ Áñ ] on the other hand.

man [ Áý ] has more than one meaning.

(A) mannuthal [ ÁýÛ¾ø ] - be permanent, be present at all times.

(B) mannuthal [ ÁýÛ¾ø ] - sinthiththal (thinking).

Words referring to humans came from mannuthal, meaning thinking person.

MaN (soil) came from the same word mannuthal in its other meaning of something permaneet.

Indo-European "man" is close to the Tamil words, just as "manushya" (Skrt).

The explanation is that Indo European languages borrowed this word from Tamil at very early stage, whilst in contact with Sumerian civilisation. After all, Tamil is the mother of many world languages.Research has shown Tamil (archaic) was being used in Sumerian area.
