1 Mistil-teinn
m. [O. H. G. mistil; Germ. mistel; A. S. mistel or mislel-tâ; Engl. mistletoe]:— the mistletoe or mistle-twig, the fatal twig by which Balder, the white sun-god, was slain, see Vsp. 36 sqq., and the legend in Edda 36, 37. After the death of Balder the Ragnarök (the last day of the heathen mythology) set in. Balder’s death was also symbolical of the victory of darkness over light, which comes every year at midwinter. The mistletoe in English households at Christmas time is, no doubt a relic of a rite lost in the remotest heathenism, for the fight of light and darkness at midwinter was a foreshadowing of the final overthrow in Ragnarök. The legend and the word are common to all Teutonic people of all ages. -
2 MEIÐR
(gen. -s or -ar), m.1) longitudinal beam; sledge-runner (þá reif hann meiðinn undan sleðanum); fig., standa á önderverðan meið með e-m, to stand in the forefront as a champion, to support one; mjök þótti mönnum á einn meið hallast með heim, it went all on one side with them;2) pole, log; telgja meið til rifjar, to cut a log into a loom-beam;3) tree (hrafn sat á hám meiði);4) gallows-tree (veit ek, at ek hekk vindga meiði á).* * *m., gen. meiðar, Gm. 34 (Bugge), but else meiðs, dat. meiði; [ meid or mei, Ivar Aasen; Swed. mede; perh. derived from meiða, of a lopped and barked tree]:— a pole or longitudinal beam, esp. the two long beams in a sledge, also called sleð-meiðr; þá reif hann meiðinn undan sleðanum, … en Arnkell laust af sér með meiðnum, … hann laust sleðmeiðnum í mót honum, … en meiðrinn kom á garðinn, … en sleðmeiðrinn brotnaði í fjötrar-raufinni, Eb. 190: the phrases, standa á öndverðan meið með e-m, to stand foremost on the meið, to stand at the upcurving of the sledge-bearers, i. e. to stand in the forefront as a champion, Bs. i. 141; cp. ‘staa paa meiom,’ and ‘meia-hals’ = the rising of the meid, Ivar Aasen; mjök þótti mönnum á einn meið hallask með þeim, it went all on one side (metaphor from a sledge capsizing), Bjarn. 59; váð-meiðr, a pole to hang clothes on for drying; nú skulu þér hér reisa við ána váðmeið, ok er konum hægt til þváttar at hreinsa stórföt … þat hygg ek at við þann meið festi hann ykkr upp, Glúm. 390, 391, Rd. 296; cp. váð-áss, Hrafn. 20.2. poët. a pole; telgja meið til rifjar, to shape a pole for a loom, to make a weaver’s loom, Rm. 15: of the mistletoe, af þeim meiði er mer (i. e. mær = mjór) sýndisk, Vsp.: of the gallows’ tree, Hðm. 18, Ht. (Yngl. S. ch. 26); and of the tree Yggdrasil, Gm. 34, Hm. 139, prob. from the notion of its being the gallows of Odin: so also the raven ‘á meiði’ in Bkv. 11 seems to mean the gallows, cp. Germ. galgen-vogel; in Hkv. 1. 5. it is perh. = váðmeiðr. The word can never be used of a living tree. In poetical circumlocutions of a man, vápna meiðr, passim, see Lex. Poët. -
