ÞEYJA
óflokkað
this verb occurs only in the infinitive, except as a απ. λεγ. in pret. þá, Gh. 21; [A. S. þawan; Engl. thaw; in North and West Engl. proncd. thow; Germ. thauen; Dan. töe]:—to thaw; nú er margháttað um veðrin, þótti mér élligt vera ok allkallt, en nú þykki mér sem þeyja muni.—Þá mun ávalt þeyja ef þetta verðr at því, Vápn. 21 (the vellum).
II. metaph. to cease; svá þá Guðrún sinna harma, thus Gudrun appeased her woes, Gh. 21; ek frá hungr varga þeyja, the hunger of wolves was appeased, Ó. H. (in a verse), where þeyja rhymes with ey, and cannot therefore stand for þegja = to be silent.
