Rá-skinn

Bedeutung des altnordischen Wortes "rá-skinn"

Wie im Cleasby & Vigfusson Altnordisch-Englisch Wörterbuch definiert:

rá-skinn

n.; this dubious, obsolete word occurs in only four passages; in the Fb. (in both the passages), as also in the Fbr. from the vellum Arna-Magn. 132, it is spelt hraskinn, but no doubt erroneously, unless the h be a remains of a former v, qs. vráskinn, [for the proper origin of this word can only be from rá, f = cabin, though only used metaph.]:—a ‘cabin-skin,’ hammock (= húðfat, q. v.), an abode, refuge; þeir höfðu ráskinn hjá feðrum sínum, Fb. ii. 93; hann vildi eigi láta vera við bæ sinn ráskinn þeirra Þorgils ok Þormóðar, 102; Drottinn er minn styrkr, mitt r. ok frjálsati, the Lord is my strength, my hammock (i. e. refuge), and my deliverer, Stj. 51. Ps. xciv. 22. ráskinns-leikr, m. the game of hide and seek (?), Bárð. 174.
