In "Island of the Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell, mah-nay is a word used by the protagonist Karana to refer to a type of red clay found on the island. It is used to make pots and weapons.

Edouard Manet is pronounced as "Eh-dwahr Mah-nay." The first name "Edouard" has a French pronunciation where the "d" is soft, and the "u" is pronounced like the English "wa." The surname "Manet" is pronounced with a nasal "a," sounding like "Mah-nay," where the "t" at the end is silent.
