MAN, n., does not occur in piur. unless it be in gen. pl. niana, Stor. 13
(ni in MS.); [man is an ancient word only used in old laws and poetry, it
remains in the compd man-sal, and in the Icel. local name Man-heimar;
'man' (åvðpáiroSov'), being neuter and having but one;;, is prob. of
different origin from maim (iii'Opcurros, avrjp), which is. masc. and has
a double final n. The etymology of this word is lost in the remotest
antiquity; it appears in the O. M. G. m a n a -b o ulnt -- -- -a bondman's bead, a
'serf's bead;' (Grimm in R. A. expresses a doubt as to the current ety-
mology of Lat. man-cipium from mann-capere; peril, man and capnt"!).
In early Swed. law the- word occurs twice or thrice, næmpna' man,
naempnæ quicfic, Schlyter i. 134; in Cïutalagen -- kauper tu mans man i
garth thin (i. e. mans-mann -- -- a bond/nan, cp. maus-manna and mans-
inaðr, see Schly'. er's Glossary).]
B. A bondman, prob. originally of prisoners of war who were sold as
slaves (Irish in the west, Finns and Slaves in the east), see Ld. ch. 12, O. T.

allit., mold ok man, N. G. L. iii. 92, v. 1. II. a girl, maid,
as also in a worse sense, a mistress, for bondwomen often became
their master's mistresses (see Ld. ch. 12), so that this sense grew
out of the preceding one; liki ley fa ens Ijosa mans, Hm. 91; í myrkri

man = Hilda, the beloved of lied in, Fms. ix. (in a verse); bjarnar man,
a giantess, Stor. 13. It is probable that in some law phrases the obso-
lete ' man' has been replaced by the common ' maim, ' e. g. in gefa manni
frelsi (mani? cp. manfrelsi), N. G. L. i. 5: as also in mana-kaup in the
Swed. law, see Schlyter's introd. to the loth vol. of Sver. (Manila Lag. ir.
COMPDS: man-frelsi., n. a granting of freedom to a bondman, manu-
mission (as a vow), Orkn. 198, 200, Gr;ig. i. 357, where it is wrongly
spelt mannfrelsi. Man-heimar, in. pl. (thus pronounce;! on the
spot, not Mann-heimar, as it is often spelt), the name of a farm in
western Icel.; the local legend attributes the name to English captives
kept there by lady Olo'f, for having slain her husband, during the Fnglish
trade (1467). But at that time the word man had become quite
obsolete, and so the name must be older, prob. dating from the time of the first settler Geirmund, who had been a freebooter in the
British waters before he came to Icel.; he may have had his house-
hold of bondmen at this farm, see Safn i. 353 (foot-note). man-

addressed to the poet's lady-love, Skald H. 6. i, SkíðaK. i, and in count-
