Any particular reason why the text uses the archaic spelling of "mail"?

It doesn't use "sweord," "knif," "armure," or any other pre-modern spellings. Why is "maille" the exception?

The term "chain mail" is redundant, because mail or maille itself literally means "armor/cloth made of metal rings." We go with the term maille over mail because while both are correct, one of them has a different connotation for English speakers who will naturally associate it with the postal service.

Makes sense, thanks.

Quoting this for truthfulness.
