[2]: Tower; he fortified.

ማሕፈድ/ Mah.fed: Tower; he fortified.

ማልሕ/ Malh: (ዐረ ማሊሕ) Salty; Salty, that tastes of salt, salt water. “ባሕረ ማልሕ” The Salt Sea: (ኦቡሻ: ፶). It means the Sea of Salt.

ማሞን/ Mammon: (ጽር ማሞና) Money; wealth, possessions. An idol, a doll made of gold and silver: (ማቴ፮: ፳፬). And for those who have possessions, it is called Mammon. It seems that the childrens words mamo and mamit (terms of endearment) come from this name.

ማሰረ/ Masere: (ዕብ ማሳር) He betrothed; He gave hand in hand; he caused to grasp; he handed over. The word ሙሽራ (groom/ bride) comes from this; it means a young, tender shoot given by law; it can also refer to flax and cabbage.

ማረየ/ Mareye: (ይማሪ፤ ማርዮ) He divined, he caused to divine; he practiced divination, he diminished the month; by letters, numbers, by omission. But the book, instead of ማረየ (he divined), says ተመርየ (he was divined), ተማረየ (he divined himself), ተማረተ (he practiced divination), all of which are mistakes; they dont make sense. “ለተመርዮ ወለተሰግሎ።” For divination and for sorcery “ዘያሰግል ወዘይትሜረይ።” He who practices sorcery and he who divines. . “ዘይትማረይ ወዘያበውኦሙ ውስተ ቤቱ ለማርያን።” He who divines and brings them into the house of Maryam. “ኵሉ ተማርዮ እምኀይለ አጋንንት ወኵሉ ተነብዮ እምኀይለ መንፈስ ቅዱስ።” All who divined by the power of demons and all who prophesied by the power of the Holy Spirit. “ብእሲት ዘትትማረት አው ለካልእታ ትብል ትትማረት በእንተ ፍቅረ ምታ፤ አው በእንተ ፍቅረ ካልእ” A woman who divines or tells another to divine because of the love of her husband; or because of the love of another: (ኩፋ: ፲፩። ቀሌ። ፍ: ነ: ፲፩። መጽ: ምስ። ሲኖዶ).

ማሪት/ Marit: Diviner: A diviner; he divined.

ማራ/ Mara [1]: The name of the Cherubim; this is the same; Lord; Lord of Lords. Its mystery sees the face of man; for that is its proper form. “በራ ማራ” Son of Mara: (መዋሥ).

[2]: (ዕብ ማራህ፤ ማራታ) The name of a place where there is bitter water. “ኢረከቡ ማየ ከመ ይስተዩ በማራ።” They did not find water to drink in Marah. “ወግዕዙ እምነ ማራ” And they moved from Marah: (ዘፀ፲፭: ፳፫። ዘኍ፴፫: ፱). Again, instead of ማራ (Marah), it says ምረት (bitterness), which is a mistake.

ማራን ማራና/ Maran Marana: Marana; our Lord, our Master. But when they interpret bemiran zeybe (by our Lord), it makes it mean have mercy on me, our teacher, who binds and cuts me off, who judges all; it makes one fearless of man, fearless of angels, a farmer o`f judgment: (ማቴ፲፫: ፬: ፴፪ –፵፪)

ማራን አታ/ Maranatha: (እግዚእ መጽአ) The reply of the New Testament: (፩ቆሮ: ፲፮: ፳፪). Concerning the coming of our Lord, the reply of Cyril, like the Greek and Arabic New Testament, instead of saying Maranatha, makes it one word, Maranata. But even the modernists, including scholars, thinking it is Cyrils word, attribute it to him and interpret it; and they call its meaning its lampstand, its light. And the poets urge it saying merene abera (our light has shone) all of this is a mistake; see the Amharic New Testament and menare (to shine) he lived in Nob: (ዕብ፱: ፪).

ማር ማሪ/ Mar Mari: (ሱር) Lord; Master. It is said for both God and man; but its proper name is of God. Say Mar Ephrem the Syrian, Mari Jacob of Serug; it is like saying Yeneta (my lord) soandso; Getaye (my master) soandso: (ሃይ: አበ). Martha also means the same, Egziit (lady), Emebet (mistress).

ማርቲሪ/ Martyr: (ጽር። ዕብ ሄዒድ። ዐረ ሸሂደ) He heard, he testified; he became a martyr: (ዮሐ፩: ፲፭).

ማርዪ ማሪ ማሬ/ Maryie Mari Marie: (ዪት ሪት፤ ርያን ያት፤ ረይት) Diviner; One who divines, one who practices divination; a diviner, a sorcerer; a false prophet, a priest of idols. “ጲጥፋራ ማሪ ዘሀገረ ሔልዩ።” Potiphar, the diviner of the land of Heliopolis. “ዮቶር ማሬ ምድያም።” Jethro, the diviner of Midian. “ወአምጽኡ ማሬ ዘድዮስ: And bring the diviner of Dios: (ዘፍ፵፩: ፵፭። ዘፀ፪: ፲፮። ግብ፲፬: ፲፫). “እመ ቦ ዘሐተተ ማሪተ።” If anyone asks a diviner. “ማርያን ወሰብአ ሰገል።” Diviners and magicians. “ውእቱ ይገብር ግብረ ሥራይ ወዘማርያት” He performs the work of sorcery and witchcraft: (ቀሌ። ዳን፮: ፭። ፪ዜና: ፴፫: ፮). Instead of ማረይት (diviners), it says ማሪታት (female diviners), which doesnt make sense; because ማረይት as an adjective is plural and refers to many men and women together; but ማሪታት is only for women. “ሐሳውያን ማሪታት” False female diviners: (ቄር: ገ፩).

ማርያም/ Maryam [1]: Bitterness of days; bitter.

[2]: (ዕብ ሚርያም) A prophetess, the sister of Moses and Aaron: (ዘፀ፲፭ ፡ ፳). The word has two partsMar Mir one part; meaning bitter. And Yom Elet Zemen Mewael; which means day, time, days; in combination, Mirirte Yom or Marare Mewael, whose days are bitter. Her time, the time of her birth, was called bitter because the evil Pharaoh gave bitter counsel against Israel, decreeing that every male child should die and every female child should live; and Israel was very sad and wept during those months of sorrow and suffering. Therefore, her father and mother gave her such a name, saying, In her days, the Egyptians made the life of Israel bitter: (ዘፀ፩ ፡ ፰ –፲፮). Secondly; it says, And a great star fell from heaven, and the name of the star is called Wormwood: (ራእ፰ ፡ ፲ ፡ ፲፩). Mar Mir, a star called reto hamoto (wormwood) that is, the sea; that is, as it says, the Red Sea: (ዕብራ). In combination, Star of the Sea; it means the guide for those in the sea. And since the sea is an example of time, and the taste of the name of the sea and the star is bitterness, its mystery is understood from the first meaning; just as the title of Merha Ewur (Guide of the Blind) says the number of time instead of the thought of the sea, it says Bahire Hasab (Sea of Thought). And even the blessing for the new year, may you cross from year to year, likens time to the sea and a river; for the similarity is common: (ሕዝ፳፯ ፡ ፪ –፭). For the children of Israel who fall under Pharaohs decree, from the sea, from the depths; saying, Behold, a son will be born to us; a redeemer and savior who will bring us out of Egypt, and who shines like a star with her dry prophecy, and later, in the Red Sea, takes her tambourine and sings, Praise Him, leading as a prophetess, a hymnist, a woman of high words, an image of the Virgin; therefore, this noble name, Star of the Sea, was given to her beforehand; and her prophecy is found in the Book of Jubilees. “ኖትያዊ ይኔጽር ኀበ ከዋክብት፡” The navigator looks to the stars (እለ ሰሜን) “አመ የሐውር ውስተ ባሕር ዘከመ ይመርሓ ወያከይዳ ለሐመሩ እስከ ይበጽሕ ኀበ መርሶ ፡” when he travels in the sea, so that it may guide and steer his ship until it reaches its destination: (ማር ፡ ይሥ፳፰). It is wrong to say Mariham instead of Miryam in Hebrew for Maryam: ፡ (አርጋ። ታምረ ፡ ማር). Many women have been called by this name; this is the meaning of the Old Testament. But for the New Testament, the child of the star is a star, so to speak of her star is to speak of His star: (ዘኍ፳፬ ፡ ፲፯። ፪ጴጥ ፡ ፩ ፡ ፲፱). Just as the Old Testament Maryam is the beginning of the Old Testament, the New Testament Maryam is the beginning of the New Testament; for the oppression and suffering and all the wonderful works that happened in the time of the first Maryam were written down as a foreshadowing for what would happen later to the Virgin Mary: (ዕብ፲ ፡ ፩). So that the Maryams may be compared, Pharaoh and Herod, Moses and Christ, Let us praise Him and Let us exalt Him are compared: (ዘፀ፲፭ ፡ ፩ ፡ ፳፩። ሉቃ፩ ፡ ፴፮ –፵፭). Just as the first Maryam was called the sister of Moses by physical birth, the New Testament Maryam is called the sister of her Son, the Word incarnate, by spiritual birth. For coordination is her custom; just as she coordinated virginity with childbirth, she also coordinated sisterhood with motherhood; like the Mount of Olives on the Sabbath. For this is in His firstborn state, in the birth of His deeds, where it is said, Today I have begotten You; see the meaning of Bekur. And the scholar of Gondar, quoting the daughters of Lot from the Old Testament, says this in his Mibezhu poem: (ዘፀ፲፱ ፡ ፴፮ –፴፰). “በዘርዐ አቡሆን ኮና አኃተ ውሉዶን አኃት አመ ወርኀ ሕጸጽ ወንትጋ፤ ለከሰ አምላክ ክርስቶስ ቀዳሜ ጸጋ ወለተ ሐና ጠባብ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ አኅትከ እንዘ እምከ በሥጋ።” In the seed of their father they became sisters to their children in the month of betrothal and marriage; for Christ the first grace, the narrow daughter of Hannah, your sister in the Holy Spirit while your mother in the flesh.

ማቂፊም/ Maqifim: (ዕብራ) Those who embrace, those who surround; surroundings. “ዘሩ ሐቀረ ነው” Its seed is carved: (፫ነገ: ፯: ፳፬).

ማኒ/ Mani [1]: (ጽር። ሱር ምኔእ ምናህ። ዕብ ማናህ) He measured, he counted, he finished: (ዳን፭: ፳፮). But the poets call it a measuring portion. “ዐይንየሂ ሶበ ተሰፍረ በጽልመተ ሌሊት ማኒ እስከ ኤዶምያስ ሀገርየ መኑ ይመርሐኒ” When my eye was counted in the darkness of night, who will lead me from Mani to the land of Edom: (የውር: ቅኔ).

[2]: A mans name; the first was a Jew in the Old Testament period, a complete heretic; the father of the Freemasons, who said there is no creator or sustainer. “እልፍ ዐላውያን፤ ማኒሰ ኮነ የዐብዮሙ” Thousands of Gentiles; and Mani became their leader: (ቅኔ). The second arose in the New Testament period; who said the Word became flesh is a magic trick, a shadow: (ቄር እስት).

ማንቍርት/ Manqurt: Adams apple: the protruding part where the neck and chin meet: (ዐማርኛ).
