Morphological type: simple
Etymology: The immediate source is Turkish mantı or Ottoman Turkish مانطی (mantı). Before that, the origin is obscure. The word was widespread in Central Asia by the 13th century. Possibly from Middle Chinese 饅頭 (man duw), which would make it a doublet of mandu, manju, and mantou.

examples: If I lift a finger, or my voice, I either throw my support behind those who would prefer a dead planet to a Red planet, or I throw my lot with the Peaceniki.
[Robert] Gillette’s counsel seems one of despair—little or nothing can be done to halt the inexorable movement toward superpower conflict, so don’t be fooled by peaceniki bearing a message of hope.
THE AMERICAN PEACENIKI / Even if the true believers have not been replaced with KGB agents when Americans visit, it is doubtful that most Russians would speak frankly. Los Angeles Times reporter Robert Gillette quoted a Moscow scientist—who is bitterly opposed to his country’s invasion of Afghanistan—about the naiveté of Americans concerning Soviet statements on their system. […] According to Soviet intellectuals, Americans who swallow their line are fools, commonly called “peaceniki.”
The great bulk of the Western peace movement/left either opposed the Trust Group or were silent on the issue of the well-known repression of the Trusters. They prefered^([sic]) to work with the government front “Soviet Peace Committee,” which offered free trips to the USSR, chauffeurs, and so on to the western “peaceniki” (an insulting term used by the Soviet opposition for the pampered Westerners).
ps: but that is all a part of the Secret Christian Conspiracy to Drive PeaceNiki Into the Moral Quandary about whether or not they are Tools of the Devil or On God's Side....
Tech-hedz & Peaceniki and all others interested in the preparations for the Lunacy that is called Gulf War, part 2 are invited to visit this marvellous web-site.
The "peaceniki" I know are opposed to human rights violations, whether from Saddam Hussein, Uncle Sam, or others.
These kibbutzim have just been obliterated, and some of the last peaceniks are either murdered, burying their loved ones, or held hostage in Gaza.
Belying his reputation as some kind of peacenik, [Dario] Amodei is keen for democratic governments to exploit the advantages of these powerful AI models to counter authoritarian governments, such as Russia and China, and support allies, including Ukraine and Taiwan.

If one believes the marketing strategies of erotic romance publishers, romantica re-envisions an autonomous female sexuality.

“...O man, and speak with the Kazi; for thy wife hath complained of thee to him.” Said he, “He made peace between us just now.” But said they, “We come from another Kazi, and thy wife hath complained of thee to our Kazi.” So he arose and went with them to their Kazi, calling on Allah for aid against...
So I agreed to submit myself to such decision and we both presented ourselves before the Kazi, who said, ‘What bringeth you hither and what is your case and your quarrel?’
Thus, the islands of Kadmat, Chetlat and Kiltan had to remain under the religious jurisdiction of the Kazi of Amini.

The appointment of the Naib Kazi of every island was made by the District Collector but the name of the candidate who was tipped for the appointment as Naib Kazi had to be approved first by the Kazi of Amini.
