waif (n.)
1. a homeless and helpless person esp. a neglected or abandoned child

I was not able to find readily available information on Naomi Tanner so I was unable to determine if she was a homeless child who died in Vinland or what. I plan on doing more research as time allows and hope to have a post about Ms. Tanner as soon as I can.
