35 KIRKJA
* * *(gen. pl. kirkna), f. church.* * *u, f., gen. pl. kirkna; [Scot. kirk; Dan. kirke; Germ. kirche; but Engl. church]I. a kirk, church; timbr-k., a timber church; stein-k., a stone church; the earliest Scandin. churches were all built of timber, the doors and pillars being ornamented with fine carved work, see Worsaae, Nos. 505–508; in the 12th and following centuries the old timber churches were one by one replaced by stone buildings. In Denmark the last timber church was demolished at the beginning of the 17th century, but in Norway some old churches (called stav-kyrkior) have remained up to the present time, see an interesting essay in Nord. Aarb. 1869, p. 185 sqq. Many passages in the Sagas refer to the building of churches, especially in records of the years following after 1000, see esp. Ld. ch. 74 sqq.; a curious legend, for the purpose of encouraging men to build churches, is told in Eb. ch. 49,—that a man could grant as many souls a seat in heaven as the church which he built held persons; ok þegar er þingi var lokit (the summer of A. D. 1000) lét Snorri goði göra kirkju at Helgafelli, en aðra Styrr mágr hans undir Hrauni, ok hvatti pat mjök til kirkju-görðar, at þat var fyrirheit kennimanna, at maðr skyldi jafnmörgum eiga heimolt rúm í himinríki, sem standa mætti í kirkju þeirri er hann lét göra, Eb. l. c. For the removal of a church, when all the graves were to be dug up and the bones ‘translated’ to the new church, see Eb. (fine), Bjarn. 19.

•CHOICE OF WORDS:(1.) Русским "не хватать, не иметь в достаточном количестве" соответствуют в английском языке глагол to lack ( smth), существительное lack (of smth) и сочетание с прилагательными lacking и short: to be lacking (in smth), to be short (of smth). (2.) Глагол to lack ( smth), как правило, не употребляется в формах Continuous. Выражения to lack smth, lack of smth и lacking in smth чаще употребляются с названиями свойств, качеств и другими существительными абстрактного характера: to lack confidence (interest experience, knowledge, courage, tact) не иметь достаточной уверенности (достаточного интереса, опыта, знания, мужества, такта); the child lacks confidence and needs constant encouraging ребенку не хватает уверенности в себе и его все время надо подбадривать; these buildings are lacking in style в этих зданиях не выдержан стиль; she showed a complete lack of interest она не проявила никакого интереса (проявила полное отсутствие интереса); the plant died for/through lack of sun and water растение погибло из-за недостатка воды и солнца. Словосочетания с глаголом to lack, существительным lack и прилагательным lacking эмоционально и оценочно нейтральны и указывают только на сам факт отсутствия или недостаточного количества чего-либо. В отличие от них, словосочетание to be short of smth имеет отрицательно оценочный компонент и подчеркивает недостаточность чего-либо для достижения желаемого или необходимого результата. (3.) Оборот to be short of smth носит более разговорный характер: we are rather short of money at present у нас сейчас туго с деньгами; I am short of time у меня сейчас крайне мало времени. (4.) Выражение to go short of smth подчеркивает временное состояние, период времени, в течение которого испытывается недостаток чего-либо: the expedition was well equipped and never went short of either fuel or food экспедиция была хорошо обеспечена и не испытывала недостатка ни в топливе, ни в продуктах питания. Оборот to run short of smth указывает на приближение времени, когда что-либо подойдет к концу: we are running short of supplies, we'd better get some more у нас запасы на исходе/подходят к концу -
