*menekkisfrequent*méǵh₂-large*mъnogъmany
adja-stemmanymuch (large amount of)Likely from a substrate language of northwestern Europe. Proto-Celtic *menekkis (‘frequent’), Proto-Slavic *mъnogъ (‘many’), Proto-Finno-Permic *mone (‘many, some’) are probably from the same source; according to Watkins, the Germanic, Slavic, and Celtic terms could all stem from a late (Northwestern) Proto-Indo-European *monogʰos., from *mengʰ-, *menegʰ- (‘many, sufficient’). Older theories instead derive this term from Proto-Indo-European *méǵh₂- (‘large’) with a nasal infix.
