nafnorðkvenkyn
, an older frauva, u, , occurs x. 421, (Ágrip); frouva, 47; frou, id.; frú is a later contracted form from freyja; therefore the in old writers is always frú ( frúvu); and the word is in the , thus, frú-innar, ix. 292; hann fékk frú Ceciliu, x. 3; móðir frú Ingigerðar, 240; frú Kristínar, ix. 8; slíkrar frou (sic) sem ek em, 40, 47: in usage frúar, if used by itself or put after one’s name, but if put before it in addressing any one, thus, Frú Kristínar, but Kristínar frúar; the frúar occurs iii. 586, in a of the 15th century; frúr, but older form fruvur or frovur, frovor, () i. 96 (); but frúr, i. 16: [freyja was origin. of freyr, and meant domina; frau; frue; no fraujô is found]:—a lady; in at present only used of the wives of men of rank or title, biskups-frú, amtmanns-frú; wives of priests are not called so: again, húsfreyja is more homely, hausfrau, housewife, always of a married woman, vide the Þjóðólfr ( newspaper): in the 14th century in frú was used of abbesses and wives of knights, but was little used before the 13th century: af hennar (the goddess Freyja) nafni skyldi kalla allar konur tignar (noble woman), svá sem nú heita fruvor, ; af hennar nafni er þat tignar-nafn er ríkis-konur (women of rank) eru kallaðar fruvor, ; Kolr hafði talat margt við frú eina ríka (of a foreign lady in Wales), 280: again, good housewives, such as Bergthora in Njála, are called hús-freyjur, but never frúr; thus, kemsk þó at seinna fari, húsfreyja, 69; gakk þú út, húsfreyja, þvíat ek vil þik fyrir öngan mun inni brenna, 200; búandi ok húsfreyja, i. 157; góð húsfreyja, 51; gild húsfreyja, 349, i. 535:—the Virgin Mary is in legends called vár frú, our Lady; jungfrú (pronounced jómfrú).
