In reply to the query of
Gritchka
about
ave atque vale,
manantia seems to derive from the Latin
mano, manare, to flow or exude.
Here are some instances I found:
ad dentium dolores decountur in aceto, ad aurium
vitia, rheumatismos cicatricum, ulcerum manantia.
Pliny Historia Naturalis, xxiii
capillum fluentem cohibet
nigirtiamque custodit, auribus cum hydromelite aut rosaceo infunditur, furfures cutis et
manantia
ulcera sale addito sanat, tussim veterem cum styrace sumptum, efficacissimum ad ructus..
Pliny Historia Naturalis, xxvi
... si manantia corpuscula per
inuisibilia foramina subsistendo iter
claudunt, ut Asclepiades contendit ...
A. Cornelii Celsi De medicina
libri VIII,
Liber primus
... ad caelum tollens manantia fletu
Lumina, sollicito dedit has de pectore voce ...
Raymundus Cunichius Ragusinus
Homeri Ilias Latinis versibus expressa, Liber Primus
Quis numerare queat quot ab hoc manantia Monte
flumina sint, sacro passim nascentia fonte ?
MOYSES PERGAMENSIS, Liber Pergaminus.
Someone who speaks Spanish may be able to confim that
El Manantial means 'ocean current or stream' or possibly the Gulf Stream in particular.
