Skjögra

Meaning of Old Norse word "skjögra" (or skjǫgra)

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

skjögra (skjǫgra)

að, to limp as if palsied, esp. of animals dragging their legs after them.

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