mano

Pronunciation: [ˈmɐnoː]

“mano” is a Lithuanian word. Its 2 meanings in English:

pronoun

  1. my, mine
  2. by me (used to indicate a first person singular agent in passive constructions)

Etymology

Appears to be a new formation built from mãn-, the oblique stem of àš + the masculine genitive ending -õ; compare jõ (“his”), tàvo (“your”), sàvo (“one's own”). Dialectal mãnas (“my”) matches Latvian mans (“my”), while Old Prussian mais (“my”) is an independent formation. Compare, however, Sudovian mano (“my”), which suggests the formation may be old.
