In german it is "Ehe-Ring" which literally translates to marriage ring
In Norwegian same thing: giftering, “the state of being married-ring”. Jeg er gift = i am married. It also means “I am poison”, though.
Is it then also the "state of being poisoned-ring"?
No, a poison ring is a giftring, without the e. Don’t know why.
Strange but interesting, thank you!😊
