óflokkað
eikar, eikr, [ eik; eiche; âc; oak; aik; ek; eg]:—an oak, 151.
2. used in (where are no trees) in the general sense of tree, arbor; and wherever found it is a sure test of authorship; brotna eikrnar fyrir því, i. 133; í skóg við eik eina, 69; hann reist á honum kviðinn ok leiddi hann um eik, 275, xi. 9, 12 (), (an ‘oak’ with apples); átu hverjar aðrar því eikrnar með skyndi, Núm. 2. 98; ‘saepius ventis agitatur ingens pinus’ (of Horace) is by Stefan Olafsson rendered, opt vindar ‘eik’ þjá ef að hún er mjög há, 87: but in the oldest proverbs the sense is probably that of oak, þat hefir eik er af annari skefr, one man’s meat, another man’s poison, 22, 53 new ; or, þá verðr eik at fága sem undir skal búa, 520;—this last proverb seems to refer to an old custom of building houses under an old oak as a holy tree.
