1 hý-nótt
f. [hjú], the ‘wedding-nights,’ i. e. the three nights either just before or rather just after the wedding (Skm. 42): that they were three is stated in Fas. i. 250 (in a verse), where hýjar-nætr = hýnætr seems to be the true reading; the same number is hinted at in the Skm. l. c.,—hve um þreyjak ‘þrjár.’ May not the Engl. honeymoon be derived from this old word, qs. hýnóttar mánuðr = the wedding-night month?
