Usage notes

The basic pronunciation is min, but the context form is determined by the phonotactical environment. The medial -i- will usually be deleted following vowels (including linking vowels as in the example above).
The personal forms are built from the stem minn-, for example منك‎ (minnak, “from you”). The third-person singular feminine merges with the first-person plural as منا‎ (minna, “from her; from us”). However, the feminine may also be منها‎ (minha) to avoid confusion.

Etymology 2

From Arabic مَا إنَّ‎ (mā ʾinna).
