bönd, [binda; bandi, δεσμός; pfand, whence the pant; band; band and bond; baand.]
I. in any kind of band; mjótt band, a thin cord, 20, ii. 119.
β. a yarn of wool, v. bandvetlingar.γ. a bond, obligation; lausn ok b. allra vandamála, v. 248, i. 689.
II. in also,
1. bonds, fetters, vincula; í böndum, in vinculis, i. 190, ii. 87, 625. 95: , synda bönd, 656 A; líkams bönd, 40.2. a bond, confederacy; ganga í bönd ok eið, to enter into a bond and oath, 22; hjónaband, marriage; handaband, a shaking of hands, 3. the gods, hapt; of providence ruling and uniting the world, 10; banda vé, the temples, i. 204; at mun banda, at the will of the gods, 210; vera manu bönd í landi, the gods ( lares tutelares) are present in the land, i. 10; gram reki bönd af löndum, (in a verse); blóta bönd, to worship the gods; vinr banda, the friend of the gods; bönd ollu því, the gods ruled it, ; vide , all the instances being taken from heathen poems. Egilsson suggests a reference to the imprisoning of the three gods, Odin, Hænir, and Loki, mentioned 72; but bönd is that which binds, not is bound; (band means vinculum not vinctus.)4. a kind of intricate intercalary burden (klofastef). This seems to be the meaning in the word Banda-drápa, where the burden consists of five intercalary lines occurring in sets of three verses | Dregr land at mun banda || Eiríkr und sik geira | veðrmildr ok semr hildi || gunnblíðr ok réð síðan | jarl goðvörðu hjarli; but as this metrical term is nowhere else recorded, the name of the poem may have come from the word ‘banda’ ( deorum), i. 210
