In Swedish "statare" means agricultural worker who receives part of his pay as agricultural products (i.e. food), this was called his "stat". So "statdräng" COULD mean male agricultural worker who is paid partly in kind, i.e. he is a "statare". Or "statdräng" could perhaps mean that he was employed by the state (government). I don't think it can have anything to do with "statuera exempel", which means to make an example as a warning to others. // Bo Johansson Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
