ávalt
atviksorðáv-alt
and ávallt, always, semper, originally of-allt (from allr) = in all; but as early as the 12th century it was sounded as ofvalt or ávalt, which may be seen from this word being used in alliteration to v in poems of that time, þars á valt er vísir bjó, Kt. 16; vestu á valt at trausti, Harmsól verse 59; styrktu of valt til verka, Leiðarv. 34 (the reads ávalt): even Hallgrim in the 17th century says, víst á valt þeim vana halt | vinna, lesa ok iðja. In it is not unfreq. spelt ofvalt, as a single word, i. 150–200; yet in very early times the word seems to have assumed the present form ávalt, á-valt, as if from á and valr: ofalt, of allt, 90, v. 205, 77, 87, 22: of valt, 3, i. 349, v. 160: ávalt or ávallt, in the old miracle book,— i. 335, 343, 344, 345, 351, Holm. p. 3, Hoin. ( 619), 129, () 116, 86, xi. 112, ,—through all the Sagas and down to the present day: the alltaf (per ), always.
