bleza
óflokkað
bletza, blessa, að, [ bletzian; bless; akin to blót, blóta, denoting worship]:—to bless; an English word, which came to and Norway along with the Gospel; in Norway it never took root, and soon died out, and is at present unknown in Scandinavia; whilst in it grew from a term of worship into a household word of endearment and affection; the guest or traveller is met with a ‘Guð blessi þig,’ God bless thee, in reply to his greeting, ‘hér sé Guð,’ when entering a house; it is also the reply to one returning thanks. The Norseman, Swede, and Dane say, ‘Gud signe dig’ ( segnen), whilst ‘signa’ (signare) in usage only means to make the sign of the cross. Bleza is used as a standing epithet of the sun, blessuð sólin, the blessed sun: so also the alliterative phrase, blessað barnið, the blessed bairn; blessaðr, blessuð, in addressing, bless you! In old writers it answers to benedicere:
α. with , 28, 655 ix, ‘benedictus’ þýðir b., xxi, i. 230, 120.β. with , rare and now unusual; Guð b. fiskum ok fuglum, 18, 40, 40; blessuð ertú á meðal kvenna, Luke i. 28.2. to give good luck, succeed.
