n. maiden, young woman

Het mah spaan vahdin Valkrys, wo krif voth ahkrin, nuz los folaas wah Ov mulaag do bodiis tuz.
Here fell the shield maiden Valkrys, who fought bravely, but was wrong to Trust the strength of a borrowed blade.
(Word Wall for Ov, Kyne’s Peace)

Oblivion loost nid Nah med spaan vahdin beyn.
Oblivion hath no Fury like a shield maiden scorned.
(Word Wall for Nah, Whirlwind Sprint)

Possibly related to vah ‘spring’, connoting someone who is vernal and fair. If associated with service, may relate to vaat ‘to swear’ or vahriin ‘sworn’.

Likely refers to a young woman, not a servant as in ‘maid’.
