    =====
    ⇒ to fall silent suddenly or refrain from saying sth.:
    - X прикусил язык≈ X bit (held, bridled etc) his tongue;
    - X kept his mouth shut < dosed>;
    - X bit back a remark.
         ♦ "Бог милостив: солдат у нас довольно, пороху много, пушку я вычистил. Авось дадим отпор Пугачёву..." - "А что за человек этот Пугачёв?" - спросила комендантша. Тут Иван Игнатьич заметил, что проговорился, и закусил язык. Но уже было поздно. Василиса Егоровна принудила его во всём признаться, дав ему слово не рассказывать о том никому (Пушкин 2). "The Lord is merciful: we have enough soldiers and plenty of powder, and I've cleaned out the cannon. With a little luck we'll drive back Pugachev...." "And what sort of a man is Pugachev?" asked the captain's wife. Ivan Ignatich now realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, and he bit his tongue. But it was too late. Vasilisa Egorovna, giving her word not to pass the secret to anyone, made him reveal the whole thing (2a).
         ♦ "Ты не у себя в Чегеме", - огрызнулся писарь, видимо, осмелев от выпитого. "Чтоб раздавить жабу, не обязательно ехать в Чегем", - сказал дядя Сандро и так посмотрел на писаря, что тот сразу же отрезвел и прикусил язык (Искандер 3). "You're not at home in Chegem," the clerk snarled, evidently made bold by drink. "I don't have to go to Chegem to squash a toad," Uncle Sandro said, with a look that instantly made the clerk sober up and hold his tongue (3a).
         ♦ Ребров видел, что Ляля накалена, изнемогает от материнской враждебности - тёща мучила её молчанием четвёртые сутки, чем-то это должно было разрешиться, надо было прикусить язык, но Ребров потерял равновесие (Трифонов 1). Rebrov could see that Lyalya was tense and worn out from her mother's hostility-this being the fourth day that her mother had given her the silent treatment. The situation would have resolved itself somehow, so he should have kept his mouth shut-but he lost his self-control (1a).

  • 123 FEIGR

    a. fated to die, fey; ekki má feigum forða, there is no saving, or rescuing, a ‘fey’ man; standa, ganga feigum fótum to tread on the verge of ruin; mæla feigum munni, to talk wilh a ‘fey’ mouth; vilja e-n feigan, to wish one’s death; dead (fyllist fjörvi feigra manna).
    * * *
    adj., [this interesting word still remains in the Dutch a veeg man and in the Scot. fey; cp. A. S. fæge, early Germ. veige; in mod. Germ. feig, but in an altered sense, viz. coward, craven, whence mod. Dan. feig]:—in popular language a man is said to be ‘fey’ when he acts in an unusual or strange manner, as when a miser suddenly becomes open-handed, Icel. say, eg held hann sé feigr, I hold that he is ‘fey;’ cp. feigð; or when a man acts as if blinded or spell-bound as to what is to come, and cannot see what all other people see, as is noticed by Scott in a note to the Pirate, ch. 5; again, the Scottish notion of wild spirits as foreboding death is almost strange to the Icel., but seems to occur now and then in old poetry, viz. mad, frantic, evil; svá ferr hann sem f. maðr, he fares, goes on like a ‘fey’ ( mad) man, Fagrsk. 47 (in a verse); alfeig augu = the eyes as of a ‘fey’ man, Eg. (in a verse); feigr (mad, frantic) and framliðinn ( dead) are opposed, Skm. 12; feikna fæðir, hygg ek at feig sér, breeder of evil, I ween thou art ‘fey,’ Skv. 3. 31, and perhaps in Vsp. 33, where the words feigir menn evidently mean evil men, inmates of hell; cp. also Hbl. 12, where feigr seems to mean mad, frantic, out of one’s mind:—cp. Scott’s striking picture of Kennedy in Guy Mannering.
    II. death-bound, fated to die, without any bad sense, Hðm. 10; the word is found in many sayings—fé er bezt eptir feigan, Gísl. 62; skilr feigan ok úfeigan, Bs. i. 139, Fb. iii. 409; ekki má feigum forða, Ísl. ii. 103, Fms. vi. 417, viii. 117; ekki kemr úfeigum í hel, 117; ekki má úfeigum bella, Gísl. 148; allt er feigs forað, Fm. 11; fram eru feigs götur, Sl. 36; verðr hverr at fara er hann er feigr, Grett. 138; þá mun hverr deyja er feigr er, Rd. 248; bergr hverjum nokkut er ekki er feigr, Fbr. 171, Sturl. iii. 220, all denoting the spell of death and fate; it is even used of man and beast in the highly interesting record in Landn. 5. 5; cp. also the saying, fiplar hönd á feigu tafli (of chess), the hand fumbles with a ‘fey’ ( lost) game, also used of children fumbling with things and breaking them: the phrases, standa, ganga feigum fótum, with ‘fey’ feet, i. e. treading on the verge of ruin, Ísl. ii. (in a verse); mæla feigum munni, to talk with a ‘fey’ mouth, of a frantic and evil tongue, Nj. 9, Vþm. 55; göra e-t feigum hondum, with ‘fey’ hands, of an evil doer causing his own fate, Lv. 111; fjör og blær úr feigum nösum líðr, Snót 129: of appearances denoting ‘feigð,’ vide Nj. ch. 41, Glúm. ch. 19, cp. Hkv. Hjörv. (the prose), Am. 26, Heiðarv. S. ch. 26, Nj. ch. 128, the last two passages strongly resembling Homer’s Od. xx. (in fine), Ísl. Þjóðs. ii. 551, 552; gerum vér sem faðir vár vill, þat mun oss bezt gegna; eigi veit ek þat víst, segir Skaphéðinn, því at hann er nú feigr, Nj. 199; en fyrir þá sök at Þormóðr var eigi f., slitnaði …, Fbr. 160; en fyrir gný ok elds-gangi, ok þat þeir vóru eigi feigir, þá kómusk þeir undan, Fs. 84; ætla ek at ek sé eigi þar feigari en hér …, þat er hugboð mitt at þeir muni allir feigir er kallaðir vóru, Nj. 212; þat hefir Finni sét á þér, at sá mundi feigr, er þú segðir drauminn, Lv. 70, Fms. iii. 212; vilja e-n feigan, to wish one’s death, Nj. 269, Fms. iii. 70, 190.

    ...Я стал перебирать присутствующих и отсутствующих наших знакомых, сначала выказывал смешные, а после дурные их стороны. Жёлчь моя взволновалась я начал шутя - и кончил искренней злостью... «Вы опасный человек, -сказала она мне: - я бы лучше желала попасться в лесу под нож убийцы, чем вам на язычок...» (Лермонтов 1)....I went through all our acquaintances, present and absent, pointing out their comic features, then their bad ones. I was in a jaundiced mood, and though I began in jest, I was being really spiteful at the end.... "You're a dangerous man," she said. "I'd rather fall victim to a cut-throat's knife in the forest than to your tongue" (1c).
    «Нашим бабам только попади на язык, такого наговорят!» (Максимов 3). "Once our women's tongues start wagging about you, there's no knowing what they'll say" (3a).
