urðr
nafnorð, kvenkyn
Merkingar
f., qs. vurðr; gen. urðar; acc. dat. would be urði, but does not occur unless it be Vsp. 20, where urð must stand either for urði, dropping the vowel, for the next word begins with h; or it is nom. = urðr, according to the A. S. and general rule (cp. Rm. 36), that verbs signifying to call, name, are followed by a nom.: plur. urðir: [A. S. wyrd; Engl. weird; Hel. wurth]:—a weird, fate; the word is obsolete in prose; en sjá urðr sjallgætust (-gætastr, Cod. wrongly) með Svíum þótti, that weird, extraordinary accident, viz. that he slew himself, Ýt.; gengu þess á milli grimmar urðir, ‘grim weirds.’ a cruel fate prevented it, Skv. 3. 5; urðr öðlinga þú hefir æ verit, the evil Norn, evil angel of kings, Gkv. 1. 23.
