Meaning of Old Norse word "löggra" (or lǫggra)
As defined by the Cleasby & Vigfusson Old Norse to English dictionary:
- löggra (lǫggra)
- að, [prob. from lögg; Dan. logre = to wag the tail, of a dog]:—to crouch abjectly, like a dog; hvat er þat it litla er ek löggra sék, ok snapvíst snapir, Ls. 44, a α-dasia-oxia;π. λεγ.
