No, I meant demense (I even looked up the spelling). The word is related to domain, but has a somewhat more precise shading of meaning :)
A lord's chief manor place, with that part of the lands
belonging thereto which has not been granted out in tenancy;
a house, and the land adjoining, kept for the proprietor's
own use. [Written also {demain}.] --Wharton's Law Dict.
In other words, Georg is lord of this particular manor, unless he assigns a piece to someone else...it seemed in keeping with the Python tradition of having a BDFL. |
