óflokkað
[ hund only found in hunda], a form of hundrað, only used in compds, many, very, like multi-, tausend: hund-forn, very old, 14; in conversation hund-gamall and hund-margr, hundred-fold, innumerable, 1. 21; h. víkingr, Sighvat ( 190); h. herr, Hallfred, xi. 208 (in a verse), Sighvat ( iii. 3), 17; hunnmörg hof, 38. hund-villr, utterly lost, quite astray, (in a verse): of sailors, fóru þeir þá hundvillir, 267. hund-víss, very wise, used of giants and partly as a term of abuse; hundvíss jötunn, 5, 25, iii. 15; hann var jötunn h. ok íllr viðreignar, ; at jötnar hundvísir skulu þar drekka, 57. The similarity of hundr, a dog, seems here to have given a bad sense to the word (= dog-wise, cunning), which etymologically it did not deserve.
