f. eaves (Egill skaut endanum, er logaði, upp undir upsina).* * *f., spelt ux, N. G. L. i. 368, cp. Lat. ixi for ipsi, Sueton. Octav. ch. 88; [Ulf. ubizwa = στοά; A. S. efese; Engl. eaves; O. H. G. opusa; provinc. Germ. obsen (Schmeller); Swed. ufs; kindred is A. S. efesian; Icel. efsa]:— the eaves, D. N. vi. 84; upsar-dropi, a dropping from the eaves (Lat. stillicidium), N. G. L. i. 345, 368; logaði upp undir upsina, Eg. 238, D. N. vi. 84; freq. in mod. usage: metaph. of a mountain, norðan meðr berginu vestan fyrir ok svá upp í upsina, D. N. i. 616, v. 957. -
2 vind-skeið
f. [from vindr, adj., or vindr, m.(?)], the ‘wind-sheath,’ barge-rafter, the edge-boards at a gable end, prob. so called from being twisted in the shape of dragons twisting their tails at the top, while their heads are at the eaves, N. G. L. i. 101, Fs. 62, Eg. 749. -
3 torf-völr

n. a dripping-place, from the eaves, Gþl. 433. -

6 HLERI
a, m. or hlöri, but hleði in Korm. 10, Ísl. ii. 113; that hleri or hlöri is the better form is borne out by the mod. usage as well as by the derived hler and hlera:— a shutter or door for bedrooms and closets in old dwellings, which moved up and down in a groove or rabbet, like windows in Engl. dwellings, and locked into the threshold: the passage in Korm. S. is esp. decisive, where Kormak sees Steingerda’s feet outside between the half-shut door (hleri) and the threshold,—hann rak kerli fyrir hleðann svá at eigi gékk aptr, viz. between the threshold and the shutter, Ísl. ii. 113; hence comes the law phrase, standa á hleri (hlera?), to stand at the shutter, i. e. to stand listening, eaves-dropping, Bjarn. 43: freq. in mod. usage, as also standa of hleðum, id., Hðm. 23: in mod. usage a shutter for a window is called hleri. -
7 dæla
f. ship’s pump.* * *u, f.I. a small dale, Sturl. ii. 100 (Ed.)II. a naut. term, a contrivance to serve the purpose of a ship’s pump, Edda (Gl.); hence dælu-austr, m. emptying a ship by a dæla, Fbr. 131, Grett. 95; dælu-ker, n. a kind of bucket: hann hað þrælinn færa sér í d. þat er hann kaliaði sjó, Landu. 251; hence the metaph. phrase, láta dæluna ganga, to pour out incessantly, chatter without ceasing, Grett. 98. The ancients cannot well have known the pump; but as dælu-austr is distinguished from byttu-austr, where the buckets were handed up, so dæla seems to have been a kind of groove through which the bilge water was made to run out into the sea instead of emptying every bucket by handing it overboard: in Norse döla means a groove-formed trough, eaves, a trench, and the like, D. N. iv. 751, Ivar Aasen s. v. dæla, p. 75. -
8 Hlér
n. listening; standa á hleri, to stand eaves-dropping or listening.* * * -
9 hlera
* * *(að), v. to listen.* * *and hlöra, að, prop. to stand eaves-dropping, (putting one’s ear close to the hleri), Bjarn. 24: to listen, hón lagði eyra sitt við andlit honum ok hlöraði hvárt lífs-andi væri í nösum hans, Greg. 74; hann hlörar við hliðskjáinn er á var stofunni, Bs. i. 628; at hlýða eðr hlera til þess máls sem hann er eigi til kallaðr, N. G. L. i. 438.
