Glæpa-verk

Meaning of Old Norse word "glæpa-verk"

As defined by the Cleasby & Vigfusson Old Norse to English dictionary:

glæpa-verk

n. a crime, Stj. 91. It is worth notice that in the heathen morals (as in the Old Test.) ‘foolish’ and ‘wicked’ are kindred words: glæpr, the derivative with changed vowel, means an evil deed, the primitive word glópr a fool; cp. also glap, glepja, which are from the same root.
