Öfri

Meaning of Old Norse word "öfri" (or ǫfri)

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

öfri (ǫfri)

i. e. øfri, compar., and øfstr, superl., are older forms for efri, efstr; see p. 116, col. 2.

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