n. hair on the back of the neck of certain animals (especially a lion or horse); large amount of long hair (on a person)

In Roman mythology, the Manes were the souls of deceased loved ones. As minor spirits, they were similar to the Lares, Genii and Di Penates. They were honored during the Parentalia and Feralia in February. The Manes were also called the Di Manes (Di meaning "Gods"), and Roman tombstones often included the letters D.M., which stood for dis manibus, or "dedicated to the Manes-gods". The word was also used as a metaphor to refer to the underworld.Manes is derived from "an archaic adjective manus-'good'- which was the opposite of immanis"..
