Nöp

Meaning of Old Norse word "nöp" (or nǫp)

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

nöp (nǫp)

f. [napr, nepja], chilliness; e-m er í nöpinni við e-n, to bear malice against one, feel hurt and offended.

Orthography: The Cleasby & Vigfusson book used letter ö to represent the original Old Norse vowel ǫ. Therefore, nöp may be more accurately written as nǫp.
