I)(-s, pl. niðjar, acc. niði, gen. niðja), m. son, kinsman, relative.adv.2) of direction without motion, down, downward (n. ok norðr liggr helvegr).* * *1.m. some of the cases of which are taken from niðr (gen. niðs), some from a supposed niði (gen. niðja); from the former are nom. niðr, acc. nið, gen. niðs; from the latter, the plur. niðjar, niðja, niðjum; an acc. sing. niðja also occurs, Ó. H.

Grág. i. 171 and 237), which is confirmed by the use of the word in the early Swed. niþ, and in niþararf, which, according to Schlyter, means devolution to distant relatives; niðr would therefore answer to mod.
