- hata
- að, [Ulf. hatan = μισειν; A. S. hatjan; Engl. hate; O. H. G. hazen; Germ. hassen; Dan. hade; Swed. hata]:—to hate, with acc., Stj. 168, Post. 656 C. 27, Hom. 159, FmS. vi. 5, passim.
- hata
- 2. reflex., hatask við e-n, or móti e-m, to breathe hatred against one, Fb. ii. 339, FmS. i. 37, vi. 9, 186, viii. 238, xi. 259, FS. 31, Eg. 139: recipr. to hate one another:—part. hatendr, pl. haters.
- 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.
