I'm not really sure we should keep it that way...

Yes, I agree, it must be preserved! I remember reading a published

"Birds chirped, frogs burped."
As the editor pointed out, how much poorer would the world be if a
well-meaning adult had changed it to the more common "croaked"
Best to all, and keep playing.

A helpful description of the lute found on the Wikipedia Renaissance
music page:
Lute: The lute is simply any plucked instrument without a neck. In
the medieval ages it had 4 or 5 Strings and was considered a much
more dignified instrument that the guitar. It is similar in its
construction to that of the guitar with the exclusion of its neck,
and how it is played, as it is played in string singularity instead
of strummed.

I'm inclined to leave it as a nice bit of misinformation.
