Meaning of Old Norse word "tor-týna"
As defined by the Cleasby & Vigfusson Old Norse to English dictionary:
- tor-týna
- d, an etymologizing corruption of tortíma, but only in very late vellums and in mod. paper transcripts; Fms. v. 213 is an error, for Fb. ii. (l. c.) 389 has the true old form, cp. n. G. l. ii. 9, v. l. 18; the reading Landn. 254 must be due to the transcriber of the lost vellum.
