Patrekr

Betydningen af oldnorske ordet "patrekr"

Som defineret af Cleasby & Vigfusson Old Norse til English ordbog:

patrekr

m. St. Patrick, from whom was named the Patreks-fjörðr, m. in western Icel., Landn. 1. ch. 12, where Ari, the Icelandic historian, by misapprehension, makes St. Patrick the foster-father of Örlyg (end of the 9th century) instead of his saint and patron. Ari, in this case, probably merely repeated the current legend.
