From Middle High German ritter, from Middle Dutch ridder, Flemish byform of rîder, from rîden + -er (equivalent to German reiten + -er).
In Middle High German, both ritter and rīter (whence modern Reiter) were used in the sense of “horseman”, “mounted man-at-arms”, as well as for the (emerging) rank of “knight”, and, by generalisation, any member of the lower nobility. Gradually, both forms were separated semantically (a vocabulary of 1487 has two distinct entries: miles: ritter vs. equester: reitter), and in early modern German a third (similar, though unrelated) form Reuter, from Dutch, was introduced. In this period, Ritter was the term for the class of the German lower nobility, Reuter was the normal word for a cavalryman, and Reiter was rare but sometimes used for “horseman”. From the 18th century, Ritter was gradually replaced by Kavalier, especially with individual noblemen, whereas the collective Ritterschaft remained in use for the class as a whole. Accordingly, Ritter becomes increasingly limited to the historic or romantic/poetic “medieval knight”.

From Middle High German hebamme (15th century), heveamme (13 ct.), from Old High German hevanna (“midwife”), later altered to Hebamme to resemble Amme (“wet nurse”) (amme). This development is still reflected in modern German, inasmuch as the word can either be pronounced as a compound ("Heb-Amme") or as one word ("Hebamme").

Was ist eine männliche Hebamme und wie unterscheidet sich ein solches Individuum von einem Geburtshelfer? [...] In Oberkanada gibt es schon zwei solcher männlichen Hebammen und bald werden noch mehrere kreirt werden.

1851, Medizinische Neuigkeiten, ein Intelligenz-Blatt für praktische Ärzte. Erster Jahrgang, Verlag von J. J. Palm und Ernst Enke (publisher), Erlangen, p. 189

Die Bezeichnung »Hebamme« gilt für männliche und weibliche Berufsangehörige. Derzeit ist in Österreich jedoch keine männliche Hebamme aktiv.

Der Künstler macht ein Bild.

Das Bestreben eines Künstlers müsse rein sein, sagte Gu Yun, und die Kultur von Shen Yun und Fei Tian erlaube dies. Um „shen dai shou“ zu lernen, sei ebenfalls ein reines Herz erforderlich. „Erstens muss dein Motiv für die Kunst rein sein, denn nur dann bist du offen für Inspiration und Intuition“, [sagte] Gu Yun.

2021 September 11, Cai Ju, “Schönheit und Geist einer verlorenen Tradition lebt wieder auf – durch Internationalen Wettbewerb für Klassischen Chinesischen Tanz”, in Minghui:

The pursuit of an artist must be pure, Gu Yun said, and Shen Yun and Fei Tian’s culture allows for that. To learn “shen dai shou” requires a pure heart too.
“First, your motive for pursuing art needs to be pure, because only then are you open to inspiration, and intuition,” Gu Yun said.
