odd-hending
f. a metrical term, when the first rhyming syllable stands at the head of a verse; thus in haf-löður skeflir the syllable ‘haf’ is an oddhending, Edda (Ht.) 121: in mod. usage, in Ballads (Rímur), it means two rhyming syllables in the first, and one in the second line, three being an odd number of rhyme syllables—thus, sveipaðr mundd | á silki hrund | sat eg undir kvendi is an oddhending.
