I guess the cadence of the line can be read in two ways:
SIX marix morix,
VIX abai maria
or:
sIX marIX morIX vIX,
abia maria
I think the reason why Katherine suggested a corruption of "Ave Maria" is because "Ave Maria" as in "say an Ave Maria" is so incredibly common in charms.
But what would it take for the words "Ave Maria", of all things, to become corrupted?
