óflokkað
aldri-gi, [ from aldr and the negative nominal suffix -gi; aldrig], with dropped suffix; the modern form is aldrei; unusual Norse forms, with an n or t paragogical, aldregin, aldregit: aldregin, i. 8, 192, 202 B, ii. 150, 62 (in 227. aldri), 17, 79, and several times; aldregit, i. 356. The form with ei indicates a contraction; the old aldri no doubt was sounded as aldrí with a final diphthong, which was later (in the 15th century) changed into ei. The form aldri occurs over and over again in the Sagas, the complete aldregi or aldrigi is more rare, but occurs in i. 220 A, 321 A, ii. 167, ; aldrei appears now and then in the and in of the I5th century, but hardly earlier.
I. never, nunquam:
1. , mun þik a. konur skorta, Ísl. ii. 250; koma aldregi til Noregs síðan, 9; verðr henni þat aldregi rétt, ii. 214; ella liggr féit aldregi, in nowise, i. 220; sú sök fyrnist aldregi, 361; ok skal aldregi í land koma síðan, ii. 167.2. (rare), mörk var svá þykk upp fra tungunni at aldri (nowhere) var rjóðr í (= hvergi), 170.
II. ever, unquam, after a preceding negative, appears twice in the Völs. kviður; en Atli kveðst eigi vilja mund aldregi (eigi aldregi = never), 23; hnékat ek af því til hjálpar þér, at þú værir þess verð aldregi (now, nokkurrt tíma), not that thou ever hadst deserved it, II.
β. following a comparative, without the strict notion of negation; verr en a. fyr, worse than ever before, 404; framar en a. fyr, A; meiri vesöld en áðr hafði hann aldregi þolat, greater misery than he ever before had undergone, 196.
III. aldr’ = aldri = semper; aldr’ hefi ek frétt…, I have always heard tell that…, in a verse in
