'Were' (as in 'werewolf') translates as 'adult male', so I was wondering what the female equivalent was. Any Old English experts out there? I did it as part of my degree, but can't remember.

look it up in the american heritage dictionary. it should give you the origin. also, try the oxford english dictionary, one of those books will have it. hope it helps.
