Mjöt

古诺尔斯语单词“mjöt”的含义 （或 mjǫt）

根据Cleasby & Vigfusson古诺尔斯语到英语词典定义：

mjöt (mjǫt)

f. [Ulf. mitaþs = μέτρον; O. H. G. mez; Germ. masz]:—a measure; kann ek mála mjöt, I know the measure of words, how to make a speech, Höfuðl. 20: þess kann maðr mjöt, a man knows the measure of that, Bugge’s Hm. 60 (see foot-note as to the reading in Cod. Reg.); mjötuðr, from Vsp. the preceding poem, seems to have been in the transcriber’s mind, and so he first wrote mjotvþc and then dotted the v, denoting that the last three letters were to be struck out. A fem. mjotuð would, it is true, agree with the Goth. mitaþs, but it does not suit the rhythm, in which a monosyllable is required.

正字法: Cleasby & Vigfusson的书中使用字母ö来表示原始古诺尔斯语元音ǫ。因此，mjöt 可能更准确地写成 mjǫt。
