Yrða

dauði

nafnorðkarlkyn
a, [ dauþus = θάνατος; deað; death; tod; and död]
1. death; the word is used in the strong form in all dialects from Gothic to English, but in it is weak, even in the earliest writers; though traces of a strong form (dauðr, s or ar) are found in the phrase til dauðs (to death) and in compds, as mann-dauðr: also 69, where dauðr seems to be a substantive not an adjective: 139 also writes dauðar-orð instead of dauða orð; an old song, 52, has Dvalins dauðs-drykkr = dauða-drykkr, the death-drink of the dwarf; the strong form also remains in such words as dauð-dagi, dauð-hræddr, dauð-yfli, dauð-ligr, dauð-vána, which could not possibly be forms of a weak daudi, 198; at dauða kominn, i. 32; d. for a hann, 27; the references are numberless, though heathen proverbs and sayings prefer to use ‘hel’ or ‘feigð,’ which were more antique, whereas dauoi recalls Christian ideas, or sometimes denotes the manner of death.2. mortification.
