Hi Jack, The meaning of the word "MANX" is "or or pertaining to the Isle of Man (IOM)or the Manx language". It is a Goidelic language that is almost extinct. If you are not familiar w/the IOM ... go to your search area & type in The Isle of Man; or perhaps Manx. There are several ways you can examine this online. The island is a tiny one in the Irish Sea surrounded by England, Ireland & Scotland. Happy Hunting, Ginny
