Old Norse Dictionary - söku-nautr
Meaning of Old Norse word "söku-nautr" (or sǫku-nautr)
As defined by the Cleasby & Vigfusson Old Norse to English dictionary:
- söku-nautr (sǫku-nautr)
- m. = sökudólgr; s. várr (= Lat. reus) býðr okkr Guðmund til görðar, Ölk. 35; svá sem vér fyrir-gefum várum sökunautum, Hom. 158 (Lord’s Prayer); skal hann bjóða skapdróttni hans til með váttum ok bjóða eigi sökunautum hans, N. G. L. i. 33.
Orthography: The Cleasby & Vigfusson book used letter ö to represent the original Old Norse vowel ǫ. Therefore, söku-nautr may be more accurately written as sǫku-nautr.
