Ambrisco, '"It lyth nat in my tonge": Occupatio and Otherness in the Squire's Tale', Chaucer Review, 38 (2004), 205-28.
22) Along with unoccupied lands, precious stones, and the property of an enemy captured in battle, wild animals were labeled as res nullius--things capable of individual appropriation, but which belonged to no one until a human took possession by occupatio (the natural method of occupation).
Of the 29 occupatio nal groupings noted, only two were written exclusively in the feminine form, padeiras (bakers) and regateiras (regrateresses), (12) with the former registered in the ninth position, and the latter in the eighteenth.
