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. (Fms. i. ch. 92); svá ok ef hann vill i mani gjalda, tva aura fyrir einn, ok a hann lausn á maninu en i;æ. stn misseri ef haun heiir upp alit, Gr;i. g. i. 396; kaupa man ok gefa frelsi, N. G. L. i. 5, 6; ok þat ie skal liáift vera í gulli ok i silfri en hálit i mani herru'nu (n a tive bondmen) eigi cilia en fertogu, ne yngra en iimmtan vetra, SS; mans leiga, 224; ok heiiuta hann sein annan mans-mann, K. þ. K. 58; mani aiistrænu, eastern s lave s, Hornkloii; maukar nicyjar at mani hal'ðar, Gs. 1, 15; er |m man keyptir, 8; hálta aðra alin íyrir trjúlsgiafa, penning veginn fyrir man-manna, N. G. L. i, 347; næst kiikju-garði skal grata man-manna, 345; maðr manna, no doubt false for man-manna, 388; er hann réttlauss við hann ok hans konu ok man hans allt, 36, Am. 66; J-ar koin mart man fait, þar sá Loðinn konu nokkura er seld hafði verit mansali, Fms. i. 185: 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 skal við man spjalla, 81; et horska man, 101; et manunga man, 163; bat et unga man, þat et mjallhvita man, Aim. 6, 7; bjarthaddað man, Skv. I. 33; harðúðigt man, 27; tostr-man, a bondwoman mine, 3. 67; mans at kosta, Hbl. 16; live ek at andspilli komumk ens unga mans, Skm. 11; hve ek fyrir-banna manna glaum mani, manna nyt mani, bow I ban her from all concourse with men, 34; Ylfinga man, Hkv. 2. 3; Yggjar man, the beloved of Ygg (Odin) -- the Earth, Lex. l'oi-t.; HOðins 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- kynni, n. pl.; gócî in., luck in love affairs, Hbl. 31. man-manna, n. (?) -- •- mansmaðr, N. G. L. i. 345, 347; see the references above. man-runar, f. pl. 'love-runes, ' love-spells, Eg. 587. man-sal, n. n 'man-sale. ' slave trade; selia e-n mansali, Fær. 117, Fms. i. 185, Fb. ii. 79. mansals-maðr, in. a bondman, Fms. i. 78, 22:. mans-maðr, m. [earh Swed. mam-man'', a bondman, (îrúg. i. 271. Eg. 89, K. p. K. 58. man-scmgr, m. a love song, Fig. 325. Bs. i. 165, Edda 16; esp. in the old law a kind of loi-f libel, liable to outlawry, Grug. ii. 150, Fb. ui. 242: in mod. usage the lyrical introduction to the epic rhap- sodies or ballads (rimur) is called manscingr, tor originally they were addressed to the poet's lady-love, Skald H. 6. i, SkíðaK. i, and in count- less instances, e. g. Ú If. I. H, 2. 8, 3. 8, 4, 8, 5. 7, 7. 9, 9. 11, cp. ii. 10. mansöngs-drápa, u, f., -kvœði, n., -visa, u, f. a love encomium, love song, lore di. 'ty.
