Speaking of which, I can only find ‘house’ as part of a college, or the pupils in it, in Collins. Chambers is the same but for Aedes Christi – The House (of Christ). I have to confess I was not aware of that connection.

I don’t like that use of ‘over’ – ‘about’ would do in the reconstructed version I produced. I cannot see how ‘milkers’ fits in with that version, though, and perhaps knowing that would explain why ‘over’ was chosen.
