    maybe not immediately obvious is the basis for their assumption which is that the expected outcome of palatalization (Satem):

    *mend > *menz

    [the only reason I think of it immediately (strange thought) is because i had to research it to reconstruct Pre-Balto-Slavic ]

    possibly *man+d (derivational suffix; also can be past participle)

    FYI - the various *m(A)nd are stemming from IE ablaut gradation, which you might already know
