1. [ pior or bior; Low and bier; biar; bior; beer], no doubt a word of German extraction, öl (öldr), ale, being the familiar word used in prose:—bjór hardly ever occurs, vide however iii. 447, Bk. 48, 89, 96 (Norse); and is a foreign word, as is indicated even by the expression in the Alvismál—öl heitir með mönnum, en með Ásum bjór, ale it is called by men, by gods beer: bjór however is very current in poetry, but the more popular poems, such as the Hávamál, only speak of öl or öldr, 11, 13, 65, 80, 132, 138.2. [ fiber; beofar], a beaver, the beaver’s skin, 71, in the phrase, b. ok savali.2. a triangular cut off piece of skin, [ provincial bjaur]; þat eru bjórar þeir er menn sníða ór skóm sínum fyrir tám eðr hael, 42; still used in in that sense.II. a small piece of land (an as it seems); bjór lá ónuminn fyrir austan Fljót, 284.
3. , must be different from the preceding word, synonymous with brjóstþili, a wall in a house, a party wall, but also in the 13th and 14th centuries a costly tapestry used in halls at festivals and in churches; hrindum hallar bjóri, let us break down the wall of the hall, ii. (in a verse); eingi var bjórrinn milli húsanna, there was no partition between the houses, iii. 177; gengu þeir í stofuna, var hón vel tjölduð ok upp settir bjórar, 229; annarr hlutrinn stökk útar í bjórinn, svá at þar varð fastr, 40.
β. of a movable screen between choir and nave, of cloth or costly stuff, different from tjöld (hangings) and reflar; hann lét Atla prest penta allt ræfr innan, ok svá allan bjórinn, i. 132; kirkja á tjöld umhverfis sik með tvennum bjórum, 153; kirkja tjölduð sæmiligum tjöldum ok þrír bjórar, 171, i. 402; bjórr framan um kór, tjöld um alla kirkju, 103; b. slitinn blámerktr yfir altari, 108, ii. 476, 322; vide bjórþili.
