arðr
nafnorðkarlkyn
rs, [ aratrum; arad; erja, arjan, arare; erian; Old ear, ; in Norse ar or al is a small plough]
1. a sort of plough, probably different in size and shape from plógr, which is a later word, of foreign stamp, as are all that have p for their initial letter. The poem distinguishes between both, göra arðr () and keyra plóg, 19. The first colonisers of Iceland used arðr, as shewn by 35 (relating events of the year 875); hann átti einn oxa, ok lét hann þrælana draga arðrinn; eykr fyrir plógi eðr arðri (plough or ard), ii. 115; ef maðr stel jarni af arðri eðr plógi, id.; höggva má maðr sér til plógs eðr arðs ( dropping the radical r), id.; draga arðr, 52; arðri (), 471, (Fr.), : um allt þat er miklu varðar er betri sígandi arðr en svífandi (emend. of Dr. Hallgrim Scheving), a proverb, better a slow but deep trenching plough than a quick and shallow one, i. 139; the old arðr was probably bulky and heavy.2. in at present arðr ( arðs, arðar, 90), as well as plógr, means gain, produce, profit: arðsamr, profitable.: arðsgeldingr.
