Vöðla

Meaning of Old Norse word "vöðla" (or vǫðla)

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

vöðla (vǫðla)

að, to twist up into a wisp; vöðla e-n saman.

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