Re: Maitland
in reply to a message by Jacks
Well... the obvious "land" has the same meaning as modern English "land" now "mait" I would leave it for the pros... but it makes me think about the word "mother" ("maitre" in portuguese if I'm not wrong)... If it does not means "mother land" it's different might be far from my blind guess...
