Cf. s.v. Hitt. manii̯aḫḫ- 'to distribute; to entrust' < PIE *mn-ieh₂- (cf. Lat. manus 'hand', ON mund, OE mund, OHG munt 'hand', OIr. muin 'patronage, protection').
The abstracted IE root common to these forms would be *men-, to conventionally cite it in the full grade. This however would be a homophonous root separate from the roots 1. *men- 'einen Gedanken fassen' (IEW 726-8), 2. *men- 'bleiben, warten' (IEW 729), or 3. ?*men- 'emporragen' (IEW 726) reconstructed by the LIV² (435-437).
S.v. manus, -ūs 'hand', from Proto-Italic *manu- 'hand' from PIE *mon-u- 'hand' (cf. OIr. muin 'protection, patronage'; Hitt. manii̯aḫḫ- 'to distribute, entrust' < *mn̥-i̯eh₂-; OHG munt , ONor. mund 'hand').
