nafnorðkarlkyn
, feldar, feldir, a cloak worn by the ancients, one lined with fur; hvítr-f., a white cloak, 145 ; rauð-f., a red cloak, (a nickname); grá-f., a grey cloak, i. 176; skinn-f., a skin cloak, 326 (in a verse); bjarn-f., , a bear-skin cloak; röggvar-f., a woollen cloak, 114; varar-f., a common cloak; loð-f., a shaggy cloak, a fur cloak, = loði; blá-f., a blue cloak, i. 74; feldr fimm alna í skaut, a cloak measuring five ells square, 86; a feld four ells long and two ells broad, i. 500, was in trade the usual size, but here the ell is a ‘thumb ell,’ measuring only about sixteen inches; stutt-f., a short cloak, vii. 152 (a nickname); feldr, kápa, and skikkja seem to be synonymous, 14, 15, 3, 8, 23, 17. Tac. 17—‘tegumen omnibus sagum, fibulâ, aut, si desit, spinâ consertum;’ the cloaks were often made of (or lined with) costly furs, 6; breiða feld á höfuð sér, to wrap the head in a cloak, 164, 11, vi. 43 (Sighvat), as a token of deep thinking: feldar-dálkr, a cloak-pin, , vide dálkr; feldar-röggvar, the patches or ‘ragged’ hairs on the outside of a cloak, 55, i. 500; feldar-skaut, (-blað, , 342), a cloak’s skirt, i. 416; feldar-slítr, the tatters of a cloak, The etymology of feldr is uncertain, scarcely from pellis, but rather from falda, to fold, wrap; even Tacitus, , makes a distinction between the ‘sagulum’ (= feldr) and ‘ferarum pelles,’ the latter being a mark of more savage habits, such as that of the berserkers; feldr is never used of a woman’s cloak (möttull, skikkja); the passage 43 is corrupt: the phrase, það er ekki með feldi, it is not right, something is wrong, is a corrupt form instead of með felldu, from fella,
