aulandi
lýsingarorð
an , al-landi, an in the proverb 10, illt er þeim er au. er alinn. [The root is al- ( alius), land, ellend or elland ( elilendi), alienus, peregrinus; Old alyant; alilanta (whence elend, miser): there is in also a form erlendr, a corruption for ellendr. This root is quite lost in the idioms with the single exception of the proverb mentioned above, and the altered form er-.] The of the differ; some of them have á úlandi in two words, in terra malâ; Johnsonius has not made out the meaning: the proper sense seems to be exul ubique infelix. In olden times peregrinus and miser were synonymous, the first in a proper, the last in a metaphorical sense: so the hostis (= hospes) passed into the sense of enemy. The spelling with ö (ölandi) ought perhaps to be preferred, although the change of vowel cannot be easily accounted
