brúka
sagnorð
að, [ Frūgi, frux, fructus, frui; brucan; brauchen; bruge; bruke, borrowed from ]:—to use, with , borrowed from through ; it seems not to have come into use before the 17th century; it never occurs in the , and even not in ; in Vídalín (died 1720) it is used now and then; and at present, although used in common talk, it is avoided in writing. It is curious that the language has no special expression for to use, uti (hafa, beita neyta, or other words indirectly bearing that sense are used); derived forms—as brúkandi, brúkanligr, , óbrúkanligr, unfit, useless—are used, but sound ill. brúkan, use, is preferred for brúk, , brug = use,
