hleri
nafnorðkarlkyn
a, or hlöri, but hleði in 10, Ísl. ii. 113; that hleri or hlöri is the better form is borne out by the usage as well as by the derived hler and hlera:—a shutter or door for bedrooms and closets in old dwellings, which moved up and down in a groove or rabbet, like windows in dwellings, and locked into the threshold: the passage in S. is decisive, where Kormak sees Steingerda’s feet outside between the half-shut door (hleri) and the threshold,—hann rak kerli fyrir hleðann svá at eigi gékk aptr, between the threshold and the shutter, Ísl. ii. 113; hence comes the law phrase, standa á hleri (hlera?), to stand at the shutter, to stand listening, eaves-dropping, 43: in usage, as also standa of hleðum, id., 23: in usage a shutter for a window is called hleri.
