barð
nafnorðhvorugkyn
[identical in etymology but not in sense to barba, beard, bart; the dialects all call the beard skegg; skägg; skjæg; barð in the sense of barba is quite alien from the idioms; the passages, 109 (skegg heitir barð) and höggva börðum í gras, 12, a poem of the end of the 13th century, are isolated instances: bart in is a word]:— ora, margo:
α. a brim of a helmet or hat (hjálmbarð, hattbarð), iii. 341.β. the verge, edge of a hill (holtbarð, túnbarð, brekkubarð, hólbarð, ), in local names of farms in γ. the wing or side fin of some fishes, whales, barðhvalr; of flat fishes, raja pastinaca (skötubarð).δ. the beak or armed prow of ships, ships’ of war, [ barda, a beaked ship]; so barded, of a horse in armour; hence Barði or Járnbarði is the name of a sort of ram in olden times, the famous Járnbarði (Iron Ram) of carl Eric, described, ii. 310; also i. 280: the stem, στείρη, 398; róa fyrir barð e-rn, to thwart one, 519, 386, vii. 195; skulu vér binda akkeri fyrir barð hverju skipi, xi. 66, ii. 273, ε. several compds are used in referring to parts of the head, hökubarð, kinnbarð, kjálkabarð, ora genae, maxillae, but without any notion of ‘beard,’ Isid. granos et cinnabar Gothorurn, 19. 23; the cinnabar and the present kinnabarð seem to be etymologically identical.
