Maiden song

[edit]

@Alarichall: Are you sure it really means "maiden song" and not "man song"? I'm not able to find any source. -- Basilicofresco (msg) 11:36, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking! Yes, the compound contains the neuter noun man, '(1) household, house-folk; bondslaves; (2) bondwoman, female slave; (3) woman, esp. young woman, maid': see wiktionary, derived from Zoega's dictionary, for example. Alarichall (talk) 15:20, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
