Meaning of Old Norse word "vöndull" (or vǫndull)
As defined by the Cleasby & Vigfusson Old Norse to English dictionary:

- m., dat. vöndli, a wisp, of hay; gefa vöndul heys af kýrfóðri hverju, Bs. i. 137; tóku þeir vöndul heys fyrir hvern hest, Sturl. iii. 164; hafi vöndul fyrir hross, Jb. 430; á kirkja vöndul af sex sútum heys hverjum of alla sveit, Ám. 37.
