Mate
Mate may refer to:
Beverage
Mahte
In
Latvian mythology, the term
Mate stands for "mother", sometimes written in English as
Mahte. It was an epithet applied to some sixty-seventy
goddesses. They were clearly distinct goddesses in most or all cases, so the term definitely referred to the
mother-goddess of specific phenomena.
