a, m. [an almost obsolete word in Icel., but preserved in Engl. tod, a weight of wool = 28 lbs.; a tod is also = a bushel; in Jamieson toddie is a bit of cake; Germ. zotte answers in form to the Norse toddi]:—a tod of wool; toddu gefn, the fairy of the tod, i. e. a woman, Bjarn. (in a verse): a bit, in vinjar-toddi, q. v.; þá eru tveir um toddann, than two go on each piece, cp. Maurer’s Volks. 306; hón gaf aldregi minna enn stóra todda þá hón skyldi fátækum gefa, Dropl. (viz. the large apocryphal Saga).
