nafnorðhvorugkyn
a word common to the idioms and peculiar to them; [the word is not on record, as Luke xxiv. 39 and John xix. 36 are lost in ; bân; bone; bein; Swed.-Dan. ben (been). , , , and the languages agree in a totally different root; asthi; οστέον; os; the branch all with an initial c, the costa. Vide Grimm (), who suggests a relation to βαίνω; but the native words beinn, rectus, and beina, promovere, are more likely roots; the original sense might thus be crus, σκέλος, but os the secondary one]:—a bone.
I. the leg from the knee to the foot; in and , but very rare and nearly obsolete in , where leggr is the common word; hosa strengd at beini, 602, x. 331; kálfar á beinum fram, i. 339.II. = os, a bone, but originally the bones with marrow ( knochen), as may be inferred from the passages, þá er mergund ef b. er í sundr til mergjar, þat er mergr er í, ii. 11, i. 442, vii. 118, 21, i. 66, 20; stór bein í andliti, with a strongly-marked, high-boned face, 7, whence stórbeinóttr, ; viðbeina, a collar-bone; höfuðbein, head-bones, the scull around the temples and the forehead; er gamlir grísir skyldu halda mér at höfuðbeinum, (in a verse); strjúka höfuðbeinin; málbein, os loquendi, a small bone in the head; hence the phrase, láta málbeinið ganga, of one talking incessantly and foolishly: in phrases, láta ganga með beini, to deal blows to the very marrow, deal severely, 230; hafa bein í hendi (the Danes say, have been i næsen), to have a boned hand, strength and power, 10, 29.
2. relics, remains (ashes); the phrase, bera bein, to repose, rest, be buried; far þú út til Íslands, þar mun þér auðit verða beinin at bera, 148, 201; ok iðrast nú að aptr hvarf að bera b. blá við hrjóstr, , 57:—of the relics of saints, 468, 469; hence beina-færsla, u, removal of bones (translatio); in the Catholic age, when churches were removed, the churchyard was dug up and the bones removed also, vide (in fine), 19, 40, (in fine).
