Sölsa

Meaning of Old Norse word "sölsa" (or sǫlsa)

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

sölsa (sǫlsa)

að, to rob; s. e-ð undir sig, to get by covetousness and avarice.

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