Öl-öð
Old Norse Dictionary - öl-öð
Meaning of Old Norse word "öl-öð" (or ǫl-ǫð)
As defined by the Cleasby & Vigfusson Old Norse to English dictionary:
- öl-öð (ǫl-ǫð)
- or öl-æði = Lat. vinolentia, a fancy heated by drink; Geitir segir, kynlegt er þat er fyrir mik bar. mér sýndist sem klæðit væri …, roði svá mikill af klæðinu at mér þykkir bregða …, ekki sé ek, segir (hann), ok mun þat vera ölöð í augum þér, Vápn. (Fél. 1861, p. 124).
Orthography: The Cleasby & Vigfusson book used letter ö to represent the original Old Norse vowel ǫ. Therefore, öl-öð may be more accurately written as ǫl-ǫð.
