β. recipr., þau drógusk um einn gullhring, they fought, pulled. Fas. iii. 387. From the reflex. probably originates, by dropping the reflex. suffix, the mod. Swed. and Dan. at draga = to go, esp. of troops or a body of men; in old writers the active form hardly ever occurs in this sense (the reading drógu in the verse Fms. iii. 4 is no doubt false); and in mod. usage it is equally unknown in Icel., except maybe in allit. phrases as, e. g. út á djúpið hann Oddr dró, Snot 229 new Ed.; to Icel. ears draga in this sense sounds strange; even the reflex. form is seldom used in a dignified sense; vide the references above.

¿To hire, to rent o to let?
To hire y to hire out implican un periodo breve de alquiler y se suelen usar al hablar de coches o trajes. To rent y to rent out implican un periodo más largo y se emplean al tratarse de pisos, habitaciones o casas. To hire y to rent se refieren tanto a la persona que recibe algo en alquiler como al propietario: Voy a alquilar el coche (cliente y propietario). I'm going to hire/rent a car. Sin embargo, to hire out y to rent out se refieren únicamente al propietario: Alquilo coches. I hire/rent out cars.
To let se aplica casi exclusivamente a inmuebles, y el propietario siempre es el sujeto del verbo: El sr. Brown alquila habitaciones. Mr Brown lets/rents out rooms.
