House of Keys : ウィキペディア英語版 | House of Keys
The House of Keys ((マン島語:Y Chiare as Feed)) is the directly elected lower branch of Tynwald, the parliament of the Isle of Man, the other branch being the Legislative Council. ==History== The oldest known reference to the name is in a document of 1417, written by an English scholar in Latin, which refers to ラテン語:''Claves Mann'' and ラテン語:''Claves Legis'' ("The Keys of Mann" and "The Keys of Law"). There is a dispute, however, over the origin of the name. The word "keys" is thought by some to be an English corruption of a form of the Norse verb ''kjósa'' meaning "to choose". However a more likely explanation is that it is a mishearing of the Manx-language term for "four and twenty", (pronounced ''kee-air...''), the House having always had 24 members. The Manx-language name of the House of Keys remains ("The Four and Twenty").
