frjá
sagnorð
ð, [ renders ἀγαπαν and φιλειν by frijon, and ἀγάπη by frjaþva; akin to friðr, friðill; in this word has almost entirely disappeared, except in the frændi, which is found also in friend, freund: frjá has thus met with the same fate as its antagonist fjá (to hate); both have been lost as verbs, while the participles of each, fjándi and frændi, fiend and friend, remain:—vrijen, to woo, still remains in Dutch; and the High freien and frie are borrowed from Low ]:—to pet, an in 5,—annars barn er sem úlf at frjá, to pet another man’s bairn is like petting a wolf, he will never return your love. The passage 19 is obscure and probably corrupt.
