örlygi
nafnorðhvorugkynör-lygi
another form for örlög, [ urliugi; Dutch orlog = war; whence again orlog = warfare at sea]:—fate, doom, generally conceived as coming in or by war; heyja eyrlygi, (in a verse); heyr undr mikit, heyr örlygi (‘hear words of doom’), heyr mál mikit, heyr manns bana! 15, (these alliterative words are evidently a fragment of an old lay, see Mr. Dasent’s Transl. p. 30, ) In (Gl.) ‘örlygi’ is entered among the names of ‘battles:’ in a verse of Bragi, örlygis-draugr, a battle-worker, warrior; these are the only places in which we find the word, while in Dutch and Low it is common, but see örlög.
