Yrða

beisl

nafnorðhvorugkyn
a bridle, in old vellum spelt beils, 128, 62, x. 86, xi. 256 C; with z, beizl or beizli, 84, 87 new , ii. 115, 122, viii. 52, v. 1., ii. 508; beisl (wilh s), 4, i. 439 ( and ), 206, 33, x. 86, Flov. 26, The word is not to be derived from bíta; this may with certainty be inferred from comparison with the other idioms, and even in the Roman tongues we find r after the first letter: bridle and bridels; brittill; Dutch bridel; bridle; these forms seem to point to the frenum; the idioms seem to have elided the r; betsel; bidsel; beils and beisl or beizl; many words referring to horse taming and racing are not genuine Scandinavian, but of foreign extraction; so is söðull, saddle, derived from saðol, sedile.
