Wives/women
In Norwegian as well, mann means husband as well as man, and kone (and also the slighty less formal kjerring
 ) means both wife (usually this) or (old) woman. Like arcticstorm pointed out about the entmaidens, the term kone won't be used about young women, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the woman is married.
