1 HÓR
1. m., acc. hó, gen. hós, [the same word as Goth. hoha = a plough-share; Engl. hoe, though different in sense]:—a pot-hook (= hadda, q. v.), in a nursery rhyme bidding one who has sore lips go into the kitchen, kiss the pot-hook thrice (kyssa hóinn þrysvar), and say these words: Heill og sæll hór minn, | eg skal kyssa snös þína, ef þú græðir vör mína, Ísl. Þjóðs. ii. 553, which throw a light ou the passage in Hbl. 48 (Sif á hó heima), insinuating that Thor busied himself with cooking and dairy-work. The hós in Ls. 33 seems to be a gen. = hvers, cujus, answering to the dat. hveim, abl. hví.
