Imbru
nafnorð, karlkyn
Imbru-dagar
m. pl. = Ember-days, corrupted from tempora (i. e. quatuor tempora), the seasons set apart for Ordination (as is seen more plainly in the Dan. Tamper-dage), K. Þ. K., K. Á., Rb., N. G. L. passim: Imbru-dægr, n. = imbrudagar, Fms. viii. 356: Imbru-nátt, f. Ember-night, K. Þ. K.: Imbru-vika, u, f. Ember-week, D. N. The word was no doubt borrowed from the English along with the eccl. rule; but the etymology was lost, so that the ancients derive it from Lat. imber, see Lex. Poët. (pref.), or even trace it to an old woman called Imbra.
