haull
nafnorðkarlkyn
, haul, a rupture, hernia, i. 208, ix. 218, where a distinction is made between kviðar-haull, nafla-h., nára-h., : the passage höll við hýrógi, 138, is no doubt corrupt for við haulvi hýrógr, or hýrógr við haul, spurred rye (ergot of rye) against hernia:—the sense is clear, though the exact wording is not; the whole verse is a rude old receipt, and the explanation of this passage as given by translators and commentators is no doubt erroneous.
