þind
nafnorðkvenkyn
, not þynd, as it is sometimes spelt by modern writers, the i is determined by the old rhyme vindr í sal þindar, ; [from þenja, what is stretched out; tent-orium, although different in sense, seems really to be the same word]:—the diaphragm; the word is very in usage, although not recorded in old writers except in this sole instance; salr þindar, the breast, ii. 363 (in a verse), þindar-lauss, without a diaphragm, one who is never out of breath in running, used as an epithet of the fox.
