Snökta

Meaning of Old Norse word "snökta" (or snǫkta)

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

snökta (snǫkta)

(snökt, n. whining), t, to sob, whine; ér látið ílla, snöktið eða syrgit, Fms. viii. 234; með snöktandi röddu, i. 264.

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