m. the Fifth High Court in the Icel. Commonwealth, vide dómr, Grág. Þ.

Þ. ch. 24 sqq.; the old Scandin. law term fimt seems to have floated before the mind of the founders, as fimtar-dómr etymologically answers to Swed. femt, i. e. a court before which one has to appear a ‘fimt’ from the citation.
