fórn
nafnorðkvenkyn
(fórur, , 6), offering, [ a word of and origin, derived from offerre; after the introduction of Christianity the old heathen word blót () became odious, as denoting heathen sacrifice, and is consequently never used in connection with Christian worship; its place being taken by the word fórn]:—a sacrifice in the Jewish sense, and in the Christian sense an offering to God; but it is scarcely ever used in a heathen sense—the passage 103 is quite peculiar: the phrase, færa fórn, to bring an offering, passim; Gúð mun sér sjá fórn til handa, 131, passim; brenni-fórn, a burnt offering; dreypi-fórn, a drink offering; synda-fórn, a sin offering, Bible, passim: fórnar-blöð, n, the sacrificial blood, 305, 318; fórnar-brauð, and fórnar-hleifr, the shew-bread, 474, 565 (panis propositionis, Vulg.); fórnar-kvikindi, a victim, 430; fórnar-skrín, a shrine in which the wafer is kept, 55; fórnar-söngr, the offertory in the Roman Catholic service, 625. 190.
2. chiefly in offerings, presents; in this sense it occurs in 5 (a poem not too old for such a word), ix. 416; ríkar ok fagrar fórnir, 34; fórnar-lauss, not bringing an offering, 172: , aldri ætla ek óþarfari fórn færða Sveini konungi, en þetta it vánda höfuð, 87.
