AS hláfweard "master of the loaf" > E lord

Q massatur "master of the loaf" > *mastur > E master

It's all connected 😉

While this was a joke of course, I find it significant that one of Yavanna's bynames is massánie "bread-giver", and English "lady" comes from AS hláfdige with a similar meaning.

Never know what you might learn here! That is interesting. So, would Lady Yavanna be redundant?

+Rick Spell not entirely, Yavanna is "fruit giver"

+Tamas Ferencz​ Ah, I should have said Lady Massánie. She might be the queen of bread and jam!

Hahahaha! That's brilliant Tamas!
