ámunr
lýsingarorðá-munr
[á- and munr, mens], eager, only in poetry; á. augu, piercing, greedy eyes, 16; and á. e-m, eager for revenge, in a bad sense, 2. 9; the explanation given in and p. 43 is to be cancelled; the word means like, equal, resembling; ámun ero augu ormi þeim enum frána, the eyes are like the flashing serpent’s. 16; ámunir ossum niðjum, like to our kinsmen, 2. 9. This sense is clearly seen from an old hymn of the 17th century,—nyti eg ei náðar þinnar … yrði rás æfi minnar ámynt og skuggi rýr, but for thy grace the race of my life would be like a vain shadow, Hymn-book (1746, p. 448).
