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

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,

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lete ' man' has been replaced by the common ' maim, ' e. g. in gefa manni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,

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

less instances, e. g. Ú If. I. H, 2. 8, 3. 8, 4, 8, 5. 7, 7. 9, 9. 11, cp. ii. 10.
