Fjör-baugr
Dizionario Old Norse - fjör-baugr
Significato della parola Old Norse "fjör-baugr" (o fjǫr-baugr)
Come definito dal dizionario Old Norse to English di Cleasby & Vigfusson:
La parola Old Norse fjör-baugr può significare:fjör-baugr
- fjör-baugr (fjǫr-baugr)
- m. ‘life-money,’ a law term, a fee amounting to a mark, to be paid by a convict of the lesser degree to the executive court (féránsdómr); and if this was not paid, the convict was henceforth a full outlaw::—hence the convict is called fjörbaugs-maðr and the lesser outlawry or conviction fjörbaugs-garðr, m., because within a fixed space (garðr), the convict was safe, having paid the life-money, vide esp. Grág. Þ. Þ. ch. 32 sqq., ch. 40, Nj. 240, and the Sagas and laws passim. In two passages, viz. Flóam. S. ch. 10 and Glúma ch. 24, fjörbaugsgarðr is used in the same sense as þing-helgi, q. v., viz. of the sacred boundary of a meeting, regarded by the heathens as a sanctuary, cp. Eb. ch. 4 fine; in the Edit. of Flóam. S. the passage ‘til Lóns’ is false, the probable reading being ‘til Lopz,’ i. e. Lopts; in the old MS. Vatnshyrna the shank of the p was prob. obliterated so as to make it look like n, and so one transcriber read ‘Lóns,’ another ‘Jóns;’ the reading ‘Lopts’ is born out by the historical context, cp. also Landn. 5, ch. 8; the word fjörbaugr is diffusely commented on in H. E. i. 137 sqq.
- fjör-baugr (fjǫr-baugr)
- COMPDS: fjörbaugssekt, fjörbaugssök.
Ortografia: Il libro di Cleasby & Vigfusson ha usato la lettera ö per rappresentare la vocale originale ǫ dell'antico norreno. Pertanto, fjör-baugr potrebbe essere scritto in modo più accurato come fjǫr-baugr.
