Dizionario Old Norse - dýfa
Significato della parola Old Norse "dýfa"
Come definito dal dizionario Old Norse to English di Cleasby & Vigfusson:
- dýfa
- ð, [cp. Goth. daupjan = βαπτίζειν; O. H. G. taufjan; Germ. taufen; Dan. döbe; A. S. dyppan, akin to djúpr; cp. also dúfa, a billow; all these words are akin, but the Engl. dive is the same word]:—to dip, with dat.; d. e-m í vatn, to dip one into water, Hom. 139, K. Á. 6, cp. n. G. l. i. 339; d. sér, to dive: the word is now freq., but rare in old writers, who preferred drepa; in Germ. etc. it is only used in the sense of christening = baptizare, prop. to dip into water, but never so in the Icel., which renders baptize by skira.
