(pres. skal, skulum; pret. skyldu; pret. infin. skyldu), v. shall (denoting fate, law, bidding, necessity, duty, obligation, purpose); þat skal Eyjólfr gøra, E. shall do that; hvat skal ek honum, what shall I do with him? vega skaltu hann, thou shalt kill him; hvat skal tjald þat, what is that tent for?; hón spurði, hvat þat skyldi, she asked what was the meaning of that.

* * *

a verb whose present is in a preterite form, see Gramm. p. xxiii; pres. skal, skalt (skaltú), skal, pl. skulum, skulut, skulu; pret. skyldi and skyldu; subj. pres. skyli, skuli; pret. skyldi and skyldu; pres. infin, skulu; pret. infin. skyldu; skyli as a kind of imperat., Hm. i, 14, 32, 41, 53–55, Og. 22. In the oldest vellums o is used throughout instead of u, skolu, skolom, skolot, skolo: with the pers. pron. suffixed, skal’k = skal ek, skola’g, skyla’g, skylda’g: with neg. suff. skal’k-at, I shall not; skal’k-a, Fms. vi. 417 (in a verse); skal-at, he shall not; skal-a, Hm. 29, 34, 37; skal-at, Ó. H. (in a verse); þú skalt-at, Kormak; skal-at-tu, Hm. 130, Sdm. 29, Skv. 1. 22, Plac. 37 (skala-þu); skulu-t, Sighvat; skyli-t, Hm. 6, 39; skyldo-at, Am. 2, 3, see Bugge (foot-note), and -at, p. 2. In mod. usage and in less correct paper transcripts of vellums or Editions the pret. infin. skulu, skyldu are replaced by the subj. skuli, skyldi; in such cases the infin. is to be restored, as, hann kvaðsk skuli, skyldi koma = skulu, skyldu koma; see munu: [Ulf. skulan = ὀφείλειν and μέλλειν, but not freq.; A. S. sculon; Engl. shall, should; O. H. G. skolan; Germ. sollen, with elided k; Dutch zullen; Dan. skulle; Swed. skola.]

B. Shall, must, denoting fate, law, bidding, need, necessity, duty, obligation, and the like, therefore the use is more positive than that of shall in Engl.; of weird or fate, skyldi, Ýt. 1, 3, 5, 7–9, 11–13, 16; deyja skal hverr um sinn, því ek land um sté’k at ek lifa skylda’k, Gh. 12: in the saying, ungr má en gamall skal, young may, old must (viz. die): of law, menn skyldi eigi hafa höfuð-skip í hafi, en ef hefði, þá skyldi þeir af taka höfuð, … baugr tvíeyringr skyldi liggja í hverju höfuð-hofi á stalla, þann baug skyldi hverr goði hafa á hendi sér til lögþinga allra þeirra er hann skyldi sjáltr heyja, … Hverr sá maðr skyldi áðr eið vinna, nefni ek í þat vætti, skyldi hann segja, hjálpi mér svá Freyr … sem ek man (not skal, which however here might be used),… skyldu vera þrjú þing í fjórðungi, … þeir skyldu nefna dóma … hverr maðr skyldi gefa toll til hofs, Landn. (Hb.) 258, 259; and in the commandments, þú skalt ekki stela, elska skaltú Dróttinn Guð þinn, N. T.: of an oath, til þess legg ek hönd á helga bók, ok þat játtar ek Guði, at ek skal svá ráða, H. E. i. 561: of bidding, ganga skal, skala gestr vera, Hm.; gáttir allar um skoðask skyli, 1; þagalt ok hugalt skyli þjóðans barn ok vígdjarft vera, glaðr ok reifr skyli gumna hverr, 14; vin sínum skal maðr vinr vera, 41; geði skaltú við þann blanda, 43: of a promise, skal ek auka mikit þína sæmd, ef…, Nj. 102: mixed references, nú skulu vér enn við leita, let us try, Ísl. ii. 367; þá er ganga skyldi undir jarðar-men … skyldi endar torfunnar vera fastir, sá maðr er skírsluna skyldi flytja, skyldi ganga þar undir, Ld. 58; prestar skulu eigi fara með sundr-görðir, K. Þ. K.; hann skal fara til þings, … hann skal rétta vættið, Grág. i. 115; nú skal þat göra, Eg. 458; hann strengði heit, at hann skyldi þess manns bani verða, Hrafn. 5; nú skalt þú deyja, Nj. 64; þá skaltú trúa, Fms. ii. 268; mæla, at eigi skyli eiga við Héðin, Nj. 32; skyldi Unnr sitja í festum, … skyldi boð vera eptir mitt sumar, 4; skaltú þiggja af mér, Fms. ii. 246; þá skaltú vera frjáls, 268, etc.

2. special usage, denoting purpose, doubt, etc., often rendered in Engl. by will; skaltú veita mér bæn þá er ek man biðja þik, wilt thou grant the request I am about to ask thee? 26; þeir Egill kröfðu dagverðar, Þorfinnr bóndi lét heimolt skyldu þat, Eg. 564; skaltú, segir Skapti, nefna fimmtar-dóminn … þrennar tylptir í fjórðungi hverjum? Nj. 150; hvat skaltú sveinn í sess minn? Eg. (in a verse); hvat skaltú, Konr ungr, kyrra fugla, Rm.; hvat skal ek hánum?—Drepa skaltú hann, Nj. 53; spurði Gunnarr hvat hann skyldi, what he was for, 57; engi vissi hvat þat skyldi, Fms. viii. 45, Al. 124; hvat skal þér afgamall þræll, of what use will he be to thee? Fms. iii. 158; hvat skal þér klumba sú? xi. 129: periphrast., þat mun íllt til frásagnar, ef ekki skal mega sjá á ykkr, at ( if one shall not be able to see that…) it hafit í bardaga verit, Nj. 97; ílla hefir dóttir mín brotið odd af oflæti sínu, ef þú skalt eigi þora, 94; Sveinn mátti eigi heita gildr konungr, ef hann skyldi eigi ( unless he) erfa föður sinn fyrir enar þriðju vetr-nætr, Fms. xi. 69; skaði mikill er þat er Þórólfr skal eigi vera tryggr mér, Eg. ch. 13; gefsk þú upp, segir Þórðr,—Eigi skal þat, segir Þórðr, I will not, Nj. 64: heill skaltú, ‘hail shalt thou!’ of welcome, Gm. 3, Hkv. i. 55; hón skyli morna, be a curse on her! Og. 32; él eitt mun verða, ok skyldi langt til annars sliks, may it be long ere such another happens, Nj. 200; sem aldri skyldi, which I never should, Fms. vii. 179.

3. so also in phrases like, görðu svo vel að koma á morgun—answer, Eg skal koma, Eg skal göra það, where the Engl. has, I will.

II. in the infin., áttú enskis annars af ván, enn þú munt hér deyja skulu, Eg. 414 A; ok muntú nú deyja skulu, þursinn, and now thou shall die, thy last hour is come, Fas. i. 385; grið man sjá maðr skolu hafa um helgina, Ó. H. 148; at Haraldr myndi skulu hafa hálfan Noreg, Fms. vi. 177; skemta mun þá fleira (dat.) skulu, 366; hafa munu þeir skulu frið um helgina, xi. 290; grunar mik at þetta muni skolu vera njósn, 333; er Guðs götur mundi fyrir skulu búa, at hann mundi leið skulu vísa, 625. 87; ek ætla mik skulu af honum hljóta inn mesta frama, it is fated to me, Eg. 19: poët. infin. skyldu, hann sagði barnit Johannem heita skyldu, 625. 86; hann kveðsk ríða skyldu, Nj. 55, Eg. 257, Ld. 116, passim.
