Meaning of Old Norse word "ið-gjöld" (or ið-gjǫld)
As defined by the Cleasby & Vigfusson Old Norse to English dictionary:
- ið-gjöld (ið-gjǫld)
- n. pl. recompense; íll iðgjöld, Hm. 106; sonar iðgjöld, Stor. 16; iðgjöld e-s, of one dead, Fs. 13, 61; en þat kom ásamt með mönnum, at hans þóttusk aldrei iðgjöld fá, Bs. i. 70; höfum vér þá nokkut svá iðgjöld föður þíns, Ísl. ii. 175.
