frændi
óflokkað
an of the obsolete frjá, frændr. frænda, frændum, [ renders φίλος by frijonds; freond; friend; friund; friunt; freund; all of them meaning friend = amicus; whereas in the languages, as well as and , it is only used in a sense; frænde; frände]:—a kinsman; not a single instance is on record of the word having ever been used in another sense, unless an exception be allowed in the phrase, sem frændr en eigi sem fjándr, in the old Griðamál, () i. 170:—the same usage prevails in the oldest poems, ,—deyr fé, deyja frændr, 75; sumr er af senum sæll sumr af frændum, 68; and Dags frændr, the kinsmen (great grandsons) of Dag, Ýt. 10. This change in the sense of the word is very curious and characteristic of the Scandinavians, with whom the bonds of kinship and brotherhood were strong, and each family formed a kind of confederacy or fellowship equally bound in rights and in duties; such phrases as, frænd-bálkr, frænd-garðr: frændr often denotes kinsmen in a narrower sense = brethren; yet sons and frændr are distinguished in 68; but generally frændr is a collective word, 4; of a brother, 57; frændi, my son, 143, vii. 22, 315, the laws and Sagas passim; ná-frændi, a near kinsman.
