RFV discussion: September–December 2014
Yes, this has a few hits in Google Books, but none of them seem to be native speakers. At any rate, the previous edits of the IP who added this haven't exactly inspired confidence or even trust (bonelore≠osteology), so I'd prefer a closer examination (it might squeak by as a rare South Asian regionalism).

 * I'm impressed by the number of citations, but they don't convince me that it is an alternative spelling.   D b f  i  r  s   17:16, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I actually think it's a word in its own right. I imagine it being pronounced like manifold. It's possible that it was modelled after manifold, with mani- being assumed to be a legitimate prefix. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 18:13, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Well it's not standard English, but perhaps we could mark it as an Indian invention?   D b f  i  r  s   18:25, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Most of the quotations do seem to be from India, but not all. Maybe ? —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 18:47, 27 September 2014 (UTC)


 * RFV passed: quotations are at Citations:manisided. --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:55, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
