### Etymology

### Prefix

** to practice the action of the root

    ‎mang- + ‎sali (“buying”) → ‎manyali (“to go shopping”)

#### Usage notes

* Along with the prefix pang-, this prefix is affected by initial consonant mutations.
* The prefix becomes mam- before ⟨b⟩ or ⟨p⟩. Where the root begins with ⟨p⟩, the consonants in question may be deleted.
* The prefix becomes man- before any vowel (except in some older prefixed verbs, e.g. manganak, from anak, mangaku from aku), ⟨d⟩, ⟨l⟩, ⟨n⟩, ⟨t⟩ and ⟨u⟩/⟨w⟩. Where the root begins with ⟨t⟩, the consonants in question may be deleted.
* The prefix usually becomes many- before ⟨s⟩ (e.g. manyamba from samba (“to worship”)), but sometimes man- with deletion of the consonant in some roots, usually loanwords (e.g. manese from sese (“to fall”)).
* Where the initial of the root is a /k/, the sound is dropped.
