n. a raised deal-floor or platform along the side-walls of an ancient hall (eldaskáli), used as a sitting- and sleeping-place by the household.* * *n., lit. the seat; in ancient dwellings it appears to have meant the aisle or wing that ran along the hall on both sides, divided from the nave or middle hall by posts and a partition (set-stokkar and bríkr); the ‘set’ was the daily sitting-room, and here were the beds; innar gengr hann eptir höllinni, breið vóru set báðum megin … fyrir stokkana, Konr.; þá snúa þau rekkjum sínum ok horfa þá um endilangt setið, Gísl. 106 (endilangt húsit, 22, l. c.); en um kveldit er menn fóru í rekkjur, þá bygðu sitt set hvárir, Sturl. i. 173; þeir Ingimundr hjuggu upp í setið þá er þeir kómu í skálann (during the night when all were in bed), ii. 73; höggvit er til okkar ofan ór setinu, iii. 174; síðan bjuggusk þeir til rekkna ok lögðusk niðr í seti þar við eldinn, Ó. H. 153; var búit um þá í setinu ok lögðusk þar til svefns, id.; ef hundr er bundinn í seti, þá skal hann eigi ná á stokk (i. e. setstokk) fram, at bíta menn er ganga á gólfi, Grág. ii. 119; Grettir sér nú hvar stóðu ullar-kambar í setinu, Grett. 24 new Ed.: the phrases ‘innar af seti’ and ‘útar af seti’ are not quite clear, perh. the former means towards the nave or central hall, the latter towards the aisle or outer chambers; thus, innar frá seti, Sturl. ii. 67; ek hefi búit, góða sæng útan af seti, Dropl. 28; hann hvíldi í lokrekkju innar af seti, Ísl. ii. 262; hinu iðra setinu, Fb. ii. 297; dyrr vóru fram ór skotinu at setum innan-verðum, gékk Egill fram í setið, ok lagði hann niðr í setið, Eg. 397. seta-skáli, a, m. a sitting-room, Eb. 274.
