I'd already googled the Maid of Heaven website (but thanks for reminding me of it, DSJ) but couldn't find anything that fitted the number of letters in the alternative names given for Joan of Arc.
I just don't understand why the answer is 'Jai la pucelle'. I understand the 'La Pucelle' bit (i.e it means 'the Maid') but not the 'Jai' bit, as I thought that means 'I have' rather than 'I am' in French. It comes from Joan's saying ' I have the name of the maid/J'ai nom la pucelle'. Could anyone clarify this for me, please?
