* * *

may in old writers be prefixed to almost every adjective and adverb in an intensive sense, like Engl. very, Lat. per-, Gr. οια-, ζα-. In common talk and modern writings it is rare (except after a negative), and denotes something below the average, viz. tolerably, pretty well, not very well; but in the Sagas, something capital, exceeding. In high style it may perhaps be used in the old sense, e. g. allfagrt ljós oss birtist brátt, a transl. of the Ambrosian hymn, Aurora lucis rutilat.

9 со всеми потрохами

прост.

cf. < with> bag and baggage; with all the trimmings; with all one has got

Вчера вечером в избушку на курьих ножках заезжал местный урядник. - Сначала-то он честь-честью сел и водки потребовал, - говорила Мануйлиха, - а потом и пошёл, и пошёл. Выбирайся, говорит, из хаты в двадцать четыре часа со всеми своими потрохами. (А. Куприн, Олеся) — The uryadnik had dropped into the witch's hut the night before. 'At first he sat down nicely and asked for some vodka,' said Manuilikha, 'and then he let go. 'You clear out of this house,' he says, 'in twenty-four hours, with bag and baggage.'

- Так. А если он не хозяин, а лодырь? - Кто? Барин-то? Ну, это дело особая. У такого-то и со всеми потрохами отнять [землю] не грех! (И. Бунин, Деревня) — 'I see. And supposing a man's a loafer and the land's wasted on him?' 'Who's a loafer? The landlord? Now, that's another thing altogether. It's no sin to take all he's got from someone like that!'

Помощник капитана говорил: - Нашему хозяину адски везёт. На гибели анилиновых заводов он зарабатывает столько, что купит всю Германию вместе с потрохами, Гогенцоллернами и социал-демократами. (А. Толстой, Гиперболоид инженера Гарина) — 'Our owner has all the luck,' said the mate. 'The wreck of the Aniline Company's works will bring him in enough profit to buy up the whole of Germany with all the trimmings, Hohenzollerns and Social-Democrats thrown in.'
