3 HATA
II. the poets use hata with dat. in the sense to shun; eldr ok vatn hatar hvárt öðru, fire and water shun one another, Edda 126 (Ht. 17); hata gulli, to spend gold, Fas. i. 258; hata baugi, id., Fas. i. 259 (in a verse); sá er brott verðr hataðr, forsaken or driven away, Anecd. 26; this is prob. the original sense of the word, vide hati below. ☞ But hatta (double t, qs. hvata) seems a better reading; at least, Sturl. in a verse of A. D. 1207 makes trautt and hattar rhyme.
