lýsingarorð
( grœnn), [not recorded in , as Luke xxiii. 31 and Mark vi. 39 are lost; grêne; green; grôni; kruoni; Genn. grün; Swed.-Dan. grön; derived from gróa, to grow]:—green, of verdure; grænn laukr, a green leech, 4; er haugr hans ávallt grænn vetr ok sumar, 86; græn jörð ok fögr, 44; grænt sumar, a green summer, 217; grænir dalar, green dales, 266; grænt klæði, i. 492; grænn sem sjór, 354.
2. fresh; grænt kjöt, fresh meat, 493; grænn fiskr, fresh fish, 70, ii. 144.II. green, hopeful, good; þá er hóf at, ok væntum at nokkut grænt mun fyrir liggja, then it is well, and let us hope that some green spot may lie ahead, 24; sá mun nú grænstr (the most hopeful choice) at segja satt, 226; flyt þú mik aptr til eyjar minnar, ok mun sá grænstr, and that will be the best thou canst do, 258; þeir leitaðu brott, síðan þeir sá engan annan grænna, 212.III. in local names, Græna-land, the green land, Greenland, 6, whence Græn-lendingar, Greenlanders, the Norse or settlers; but in usage the Esquimaux, who only came into Greenland about the 14th century: Græn-lenzkr, of Greenland; Atlamál hin Grænlenzku, Atlakviða hin Grænlenzka, the names of two poems, from their being composed in Greenland; the name is not to be derived from the Norse county Grenland, as the old writers make a strict distinction, using the adjective Grenskr of the Norse county.
