1 sáðir

f. pl. bran; hleifr þrunginn sáðum, a bran-loaf, the diet of bondmen, Rm. 4; blanda sáðum við brauð, Stj. 263; verða mönnum jamndýrar sáðar eða ok dýrri en hreint korn, Sks. 323 B; hey ok sáðir, Stj. 136; hann gaf þeim (the camels) hey ok sáðir, id.; sundrlyndis sáðir, 192: the old writers distinguish between the neut. sáð and the fem. sáðir; the neut. sing. sáðin (bran), Fél. ii. 145, l. 23 sqq., is therefore wrongly used for sáðir.
