Mayhap Maybe is More Medieval

All right. Mayhap just sounds so medieval. Guess what. It dates from the mid 1500s. Maybe comes from the 1300s. And then there's perchance. SO medieval. 1300s. So it is. And perhaps, it's more modern equivalent, (although unfortunately nobody seems to say perhaps nowadays,) is from the 1400s. So mayhap maybe is more medieval. Even though it doesn't sound as 1100s-ish as mayhap.
