albúa
sagnorðal-búa
bjó, to fit out, furnish or equip completely, at albúa kirkju, i. 387; but in albúinn, completely equipped, of ships bound for sea [where bound is a corruption of boun, the old English and Scottish equivalent of buinn.

Again, a bride is boun when she has her wedding dress on; v. below, búa and búask, which last answers to busk]: nú byst hann út til Íslands, ok er þeir vóru albúnir, 10; ok er var a. ok byrr rann á, 158, 194: a. sem til bardaga, all-armed for the battle, xi. 22.
