kefla
sagnorð
ð, to gag a lamb, so as to prevent its sucking; sagði at lömbunum væri tregast um átið fyrst er þau eru nýkefld, 244.
II. to mangle; kefla þvátt, to mangle linen, in usage; ‘þar vartú at er maðr kefldi þvátt’ is the true reading of the corrupt passage ‘er feaðr kleði þvátt’ in 162 (Thorodd); the had kelþi = kelfði (as the word is sounded), and aþr, which two words the transcriber mistook for kleþi and peaþr.
