1 sótigr

adj. sooty; hann svaf aldri undir sótkum ási, Hkr. i. 43; þat var þrjá vetr er hann lá úti á herskipum svá at hann kom eigi undir sótkan rapt, so that he never came under a sooty rafter, Orkn. 478; both passages refer to the old laws of Wikings and warriors, and resemble in sense and phrase the words of Ariovistus, ‘tectum non subissent,’ in Caesar B.G. i. 36.
