Old Norse Dictionary - öllungis
Meaning of Old Norse word "öllungis" (or ǫllungis)
As defined by the Cleasby & Vigfusson Old Norse to English dictionary:
- öllungis (ǫllungis)
- adv. (mod. öldungis, but in old poets made to rhyme with ll):—altogether, quite; öllungis eigi (cp. Lat. omnino non), not at all, Eluc. 13; öllungis kvittr, Dipl. iv. 11, B. K. 121; drýgja allyngis (sic) hans vilja, Hom. 69; öllyngis ei ok ei, 15; öllungis ílla, altogether ill, Ó. H. (in a verse); öllungis allar, quite all, Bjarn. (in a verse).
Orthography: The Cleasby & Vigfusson book used letter ö to represent the original Old Norse vowel ǫ. Therefore, öllungis may be more accurately written as ǫllungis.
