1 ÞEYJA
this verb occurs only in the infinitive, except as a απ. λεγ. in pret. þá, Gh. 21; [A. S. þawan; Engl. thaw; in North and West Engl. proncd. thow; Germ. thauen; Dan. töe]:—to thaw; nú er margháttað um veðrin, þótti mér élligt vera ok allkallt, en nú þykki mér sem þeyja muni.—Þá mun ávalt þeyja ef þetta verðr at því, Vápn. 21 (the vellum).
2 ÞEYJA
II. metaph. to cease; svá þá Guðrún sinna harma, thus Gudrun appeased her woes, Gh. 21; ek frá hungr varga þeyja, the hunger of wolves was appeased, Ó. H. (in a verse), where þeyja rhymes with ey, and cannot therefore stand for þegja = to be silent.
