[gjalda; gild = tribute, Luke xx. 22, Mark xii. 14; gild; geld; chalta; geld = money; it remains in Old weregild]:—payment, tribute; this sense is very rare, as gjald () is the common word; chiefly used in compds, as nef-gildi, head-tax; baug-gildi, ; skatt-gildi, a tax; skulda-gildi, payment of debts, i. 302.
2. recompense; in the saying, æ sér til gildis gjöf ( æ sér gjöf til gjalda), 146.3. value; al-gildi, full-g., hálf-g., whole, full, half value; ið-gilði or í-gildi, equivalence; hon er karlmanns-ígildi.
β. worth, value, esteem; the phrase, vera í miklu, litlu, engu gildi, to be in great, small, no repute; án Drottins ráða er aðstoð manns í engu minsta gildi, 9. 2: in usage, but rare in old writers, þegar ér komizt í gildi við höfðingja eðr kærleika, 266.
II. a banquet, feast, [ gilde; so called from the fee paid?], 20 , 45, 57, i. 283, 178, in old poems; the poetical mead is called Gauta g., Kormak; or gildi Grjótaldar, the cheer of the Giants; gefa úlfum gildi, to feast the wolves, ; to this seems to belong the passage in 27, hvárt skyldi Æsir afrað gjalda eðr skyldi goðin öll gildi eiga, where the eiga gildi means to hold a feast, with the notion of making a league or peaceful agreement, as to gjalda afrað (), to pay tribute as a badge of submission.III. in a technical sense, a guild, throughout England and Scandinavia during the Middle Ages; the first guilds in Norway were instituted by king Olave (1066–1093), Ólafr konungr lét setja Mikla-gildi í Níðarósi, ok mörg önnur í kaupstöðum, en áðr vóru hvirfings-drykkjur (but before there were drinking-bouts), vi. 440: the guilds were secular brotherhoods or trades’ unions (and often became political clubs); they assumed the names of saints or sacred things, as Kross-g., Cross-guild; Ólafs-g., St. Olave’s guild (in Norway); Knúts-g., St. Canute’s guild (in Denmark), and so on: in this sense rarely occurs, mælti at einhverr vildis-manna ætti at hefja gildit, i. 20; ok var gildit at Ólafs messu hvert sumar, 23; also gildis-fundr, a guild-meeting, mentioned in i. 58; and gildis-bændr, guild-franklins, guild-brothers, 23, (about the middle of the 12th century); but guilds never took root in : gildis-skáli, a, a guild-hall, viii. 160, ix. 22, passim: gildis-tíð, a guild-term, viii. 151.
