Meaning of Old Norse word "net-lög" (or net-lǫg)
As defined by the Cleasby & Vigfusson Old Norse to English dictionary:
- net-lög (net-lǫg)
- n. pl. ‘net-layings’, i. e. the right of laying nets in certain waters; hann skyldi rýma netlögin fyrir þeim, Fs. 35; kirkja á selveiði við Eiðsker ok tvau netlög, Vm. 57; menn eigu at veiða fyrir útan netlög at úsekju, Grág. ii. 358.
Orthography: The Cleasby & Vigfusson book used letter ö to represent the original Old Norse vowel ǫ. Therefore, net-lög may be more accurately written as net-lǫg.
