brúða
nafnorðkvenkyn
u, a doll, puppet, xi. 309; stól-brúða (literally chair-bride), the pillar in carved work on the side of an old-fashioned chair; in 98 the head of Thor was carved on the chair; Gríma kona Gamla átti stól einn mikinn, en á brúðum stólsins var skorinn Þórr, ok var þat mikit líkneski, the classical passage 4; var hár hennar bundit við stólbrúðurnar, 175 (in the vellum distinctly bruðrnar UNCERTAIN): a distinction in form and inflexion is always made between brúðr, a bride, and brúða, puppet; hence the saying, ‘to sit like a brúða,’ motionless, not stirring a limb; bláum skrýddr skrúða, skikkanlegri en brúða, more quiet than a b., 229; the sense of κόρη and νύμφη in Greek is analogous.
