I think it's closer to "stand-up" or "decent" than honorable, but yes.

(The neutral version would be מאַן, which literally means man or husband.)

[fortran77]

Umm... מאָן means poppyseed in Yiddish (and Purim is around the corner, which means המן־טאַשן with מאָן filling!)

[woodruffw]

I wrote מאַן, not מאָן :-).

(For those wondering: “man” in Yiddish looks a lot like “mohn”, which is the same as German mohn.)

[jjtheblunt]

what's that phonetically?

[akavi]

I believe it's pronounced very similar to the English word "man" (with the vowel being a little farther back. Halfway to "mon" as in "pokemon")

[woodruffw]

Yep, that’s correct. It’s a long a, similar to ā in Latin.
