3 meldr
(gen. -rs and -rar), m.1) grinding (standa at meldri);* * *m., gen. meldrs and meldrar; [mala; Swed. mäld; Ivar Aascn mælder; Scot. melder; Mælder-skin, the name of a mountain glacier in Norway, from its likeness to a flour-bag]:— flour or corn in the mill: koma til melds, to go to the mill, Gs. 4; standa at meldri, 23; Fenju meldr, the flour of Fenja = gold, Lex. Poët.; græðis meldr, sea-flour = sand (?), Edda (in a verse); the word is obsolete and poët., but remains in Sweden and Norway. -
4 NEIT
n. pl. flour, efflorescence, a απ. λεγ.; neit Menju góð, the costly flour of Menja, i. e. gold, Skv. 3. 50; the word remains, though with a false aspirate, in common Icel. hneita (q. v.), the white efflorescence on seaweed (söl); akin is the Icel. naut. phrase, það hnitar í báru (in a ditty of Pal Vídal.), the waves are white-tipped (as if sprinkled with flour); the explanation given in Lex. Poët., s. v. neit, is prob. erroneous. -
5 AMLÓÐI
a, m.2. now used metaph. of an imbecile, weak person, one of weak bodily frame, wanting in strength or briskness, unable to do his work, not up to the mark. It is used in phrases such as, þú ert mesti Amlóði, what a great A. you are, i. e. poor, weak fellow. In a poem of the 10th century (Edda 67), the seashore is called the flour-bin of Amlode (meldr-lið Amlúða, navis farinae Amlodif), the sand being the flour, the sea the mill: which recals the words of Hamlet in Saxo,—‘sabulum perinde ac farra aspicere jussus eadem albicantibus maris procellis permolita esse respondit.’ From this poem it may be inferred that in the 10th century the tale of Hamlet was told in Icel., and in a shape much like that given it by Saxo about 250 years later. Did not Saxo (as he mentions in his preface) write his story from the oral tradition of Icelanders? In Iceland this tale was lost, together with the Skjöldunga Saga. The Icel. Ambales Saga MS. in the Brit. Mus. is a modern composition of the 17th century.COMPDS now in freq. use: amlóðaligr, adj. imbecile; amlóða-skapr, m., or amlóða-háttr, imbecility; also amlóðast, dep. Torfaeus, in his Series Reg. Dan. p. 302, quotes an old Swedish rhyme running thus: ‘Tha slog konungen handom samman | och log fast och gorde aff gamnian | rett some han vore en Amblode | then sig intet godt forstode,’ where it means a fool, simpleton, denoting a mental imbecility. [No one knows the origin of this name: an etymology attempted by Prof. Säve of Upsala is, we believe, equally inadmissible.] -

Grett. 107, and the funny taunt in Fms. xi. 157—verið get ek hafa nökkura þá er þaðan munu hafa borið raufóttara belginn (i. e. more of scars and wounds) en svá sem þú hefir borit, því at mér þykir sjá bezt til fallinn at geyma í hveitimjöl, the rebuke of a lady to her sweetheart on his having fled out of battle with whole skin fit to keep flour in it, cp. also Nj.141.2. bellows (smiðju-belgr), Edda 70, Þiðr. 91.3. the curved part of a letter of the alphabet, Skálda 177.II. metaph., letibelgr, a lazy fellow, Fél. 12. 53: belgr also denotes a withered, dry old man (with a skin like parchment), with the notion of wisdom, cp. the proverb, opt ór skörpum belg skilin orð koma, and, a little above, opt er gott þat er gamlir kveða, Hm. 135; böl vantú bróðir er þú þann belg leystir, opt ór þeim (þurrum?) belg böll ráð koma, … deep schemes often come out of an old skin, Hðm. 27: the proverb, hafa skal ráð þó ór refsbelg komi, take good advice, even if coming from an old fox-skin! Gullþ. ch. 18. People say in Icel. lesa, tala, læra í belg, to read, talk, learn in a bag, to read or talk on foolishly, or to learn by rote; cp. the tale about the orðabelgr, Ísl. Þjóðs. ii. 479; cp. Asbjörnsen, Norse Tales, New Coll. Chr. 1856.2. botan. gluma, Hjalt. -

The word is still preserved in the south-east of Iceland,—hleypr mjölit um kring kvernina út á lúðrinn, Fél. ii. 155 (of the year 1782): poët. the sea is called ey-lúðr, island-flour-bin, Edda (in a verse); see the remarks to amlóði:—the phrase, ganga e-m í lúðr, to fall into one’s bin, metaph. phrase, to fall to one’s lot, Gs. 11. -
