f. (réttr, m., Bs. i. 415; cp. lögréttu, afréttu, acc. pl.):—a public fold in Icel. into which the flocks are driven in the autumn from the common mountain pastures and distributed to the owners according to the marks on the ears; the word is no doubt derived from rétta, réttr, to adjust. Germ. richten; for the sheep pen is a kind of ‘court of adjustment;’ and every district has its own ‘rétt’ at a fixed place near the mountain pastures.

Almanack (Sept. 8, 1871); lög-rétt, Sd. 149; af-rétt or af-réttr, q. v.; réttar-garðr.
