1 mar-mennill
m., thus Landn. 76, 77; mar-mandill, Fas. ii. 31 (thrice); in popular mod. usage in Icel., mar-bendill; the Hauksbok (Landn. l. c.) spells it margmelli; whence the mod. Norse marmæle, Ivar Aasen:—prop. a ‘sea-mannikin,’ a kind ot sea goblin or sea dwarf, in the Norse fairy tales. The marmennil is now and then hooked by fishermen; being a soothsayer, he tells them what is to happen. The classical passages in oid Icel. writers are the Hálf’s S. ch. 7 and the Landn. 2, ch. 5; for mod. times see Maurer’s Volks. 31, 32, as also Ísl. Þjóðs. i. 131–134. Inseparable from these tales is the merman’s ‘laughter;’ he generally laughs thrice, e. g. the king kisses the queen, beats his dog, and stumbles over and curses the mound, at each of which the merman laughs; and being asked why, he says that he laughs at the king’s foolishness, for the queen is false, but the dog is true and will save his life, and in the mound there is a hidden treasure; hence, þá hló marbendill, then the merman laughed, has in Icel. become proverbial of a sudden, unreasonable, and spiteful fit of laughter. The coincidence with the English legend of Merlin the ‘wild man’ in the romance of Merlin, (edited by the Early Engl. Text Soc. 1869, p. 434,) is very striking; and one is tempted to suggest that the name Merlin may have been borrowed from the Norse sea goblin (who in Norwegian tales is said to be the bastard of the sea monster hafstramb and a mermaid), and tacked on to the Welsh legend: even the word has a Norse or Teutonic sound: Merlin may well be shortened from the dimin. mer-mann-lin, mer-m’lin, merlin: according to the Pref. to this Engl. romance the name is not found attached to the Welsh legend till the 12th century.COMPDS: marmendilssmíði, marmendilsþari. -
2 NYKR
(gen. -rs, pl. nykrar), m.1) a fabulous water-being (mostly appearing in the shape of a grey horse);2) the hippopotamus.* * *m., gen. nykrs, [a word common to all Teut. languages; A. S. nicor; Engl. nick; Germ. nix; Dan. nök and nisse; mod. Norse nyk; Swed. näcken = a sea goblin; one is tempted to suggest that the Lat. Neptunus (p = g) may be related to this Teutonic word; cp. also Germ. neckisch, neckerei = whims, Dan. nykker]:—the ‘nick,’ a fabulous water-goblin, mostly appearing in the shape of a gray water-horse, emerging from lakes, to be recognised by its inverted hoofs, cp. the tale told in Landn. 2. ch. 10, as also Maurer’s Volksagen: poët., nykra borg = ‘nick-burrow,’ a lake, Lex. Poët. The nykr is the Proteus of the Northern tales, and takes many shapes, whence the gramm. term nykrat, part. a kind of kakemphaton, a change in a figure of speech, e. g. to call a sword first a ‘serpent’ and then a ‘wand,’ or to choose a verb which does not suit the trope in the noun; sá löstr er vér köllum nykrat eðr finngálknat … ok er þar svá skipt líkneskjum á hinum sama hlut, sem nykrinn skiptisk á margar leiðir, Skálda 187; en ef sverð er ormr kallaðr en síðan fiskr eða vöndr eðr annan veg breytt, þat kalla menn nykrat ok þykir þat spilla, Edda 123. In mod. Norse tales a water-goblin is called nykk or nök (nökken), see Ivar Aasen and Mr. Dasent’s Transl. of Asbjörnsen and Moe’s Norse Tales. The legend exists also in the Highlands of Scotland. In mod. Icel. tales the nykr is also called nennir or kumbr, q. v.; nykr-hestr, vatna-hestr.II. the hippopotamus; nykrar svá stórir sem fílar, Al. 167, 171. -
3 rún-henda
u, f., or rún-hending, f., is the name of the metre with end-rhymes, consecutive, not alternate; the word is now obsolete, and in ancient writers it only occurs in two places, the Ht. R. verse 24 and in Edda (Ht.), where the Cod. Reg. gives rún-, Edda i. 696 sqq. (the foot-notes); but one is tempted to suspect that this is corrupt, and that the true form was rim-, as im and un can hardly be distinguishedin MSS.; rím- would yield good sense, whereas rúm- is meaningless. The metre itself is evidently of foreign origin, borrowed from the A. S.: the first poem in this metre was the Höfuðl. of Egil, who had lived in England; it was little used throughout the 10th and the following centuries, and the few poems and fragments composed in it can be traced to Egil’s poem as their prototype. The single verse in Eg. ch. 27 is prob. a later composition. -
4 Vænir
or Venir, m. Lake Wener, in Sweden, Fas. ii. 4, 6, Hkr. i. 41; á ísi vatns þess er Veni heitir, Edda 82. One is tempted to think that in the verse of Bragi (Edda begin.) the word ‘vineyjar’ may cover this local name; perh. ‘Vaeneris (like mútaris, vartaris, see Gramm. p. xxvii, col. 1, ll. 21–25) víðri valrauf;’ the ‘wide spoil of the Wener’ = the island of Zealand, for the legend can only have applied to Lake Wener, and not to Lake Malar. -
5 ÖNN
* * *I)(gen. annar, pl. annir), f.2) pl. annir, working season, esp. the hay-making season (en þetta var of annir).* * *1.f. an obsolete word, some part of a sword, the tip or the chape (?), Edda (Gl.); önnar (unnar Cod. wrongly) tunga, the tongue of the önn, i. e. the sword’s blade, Landn. (in a verse); in Hkv. Hjörv. 9 the true reading, we believe, is ‘önn’ er í oddi for ‘ógn;’ hjalt, hugró, önn, egg, valböst all being parts of a sword.2.f., gen. annar, pl. annir: [one is tempted to trace this word to the Goth. aþn and ataþni = ἐνιαυτός, a year; if so, the original sense would be a season, time, and work, business the derived; see annt, anna, amboð]:—a working season; en þetta var of annir, the hay-making season, Bs. i. 339; ef maðr fiskir um annir, ok gengr í grið at vetri, Grág. i. 151; hálfan mánuð um annir, 152; á miðil anna skal löggarð göra, in the time between two working seasons, ii. 261; þat heitir anna í millum, Gþl. 410 (onne millom, Ivar Aasen), the time between two working seasons, e. g. between ploughing time and hay-making, or fencing and hay-making, or the like; vár-önn, the sowing season; löggarðs-önn or garð-önn, the fencing season; hey-önn, the hay season; garðlags-önn, Grág. ii. 261; tún-annir, q. v.2. work, business; hann var í mikilli önn, very busy, Fms. iv. 119; önn ok erfiði, Gísl. 17; önga önn né starf skaltú hafa fyrir um búnað þinn … skal ek þat annask, Ld. 86; hafa önn ok umhyggju fyrir e-u, id., Fms. i. 291; önn fékk jötni orðbæginn halr, Hým. 3; henni var mikil önn á um ferðir Arons, Bs. i. 539; bera önn fyrir e-u, to take care of, 686; skulu vér nú önn hafa at langvistir órar skili aldregi, Hom. (St.); ala önn fyrir e-u, to care for, provide for, maintain; vera önnum kafinn, to be overwhelmed with work; vera í önnum, to be busy; í óða-önn, and the like. ☞ In the phrase, þola önn fyrir e-n, önn seems to be = önd = breath; see önd and þola. -
6 slœgja
I)(-ða, -ðr), v.1) to cheat, entice, ensnare (s. hug e-s ok hjarta);2) impers., e-n slœgir til e-s, one has a mind to, desires; eigi slœgir mik hér til langvista í Norvegi, I am not tempted to linger here in Norway;3) refl., slœgjast til e-s, to seek for a thing, of gain; hér er til lítils at s., but little profit to be had; Þórðr unni henni lítit, hafði hann mjök slœgzt til fjár, Th. loved her but little, and had married her for her money’s sake. -
