OK I'll play along, even though I'm no expert on C6th yet, you've intrigued me for sure!
And I have this killer 10 string just chillin,
let me get some strings!

If you're talking about the drilled hole, it's for the rod that connected and tightened additional bodies to make a multi-neck instrument.
