μανιάκης

Etymology
Formation like and. Usually considered to be a word, with cognates in 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬. Relation with seems improbable. It is now thought that the other Indo-European languages must have acquired the word from the same source as Greek.

Rüdiger Schmitt connects 🇨🇬, and Walther Hinz proposes a derivation from, from a common Indo-Iranian root.

The variants, point to a non-Indo-European origin: geminate -νν-, interchange α/ο and presence of a suffix -ιακ-.

Still, the origin remains.

Noun

 * 1) necklace, torc, armlet, worn of gold by Persians and Gauls
