máttigr
lýsingarorð
, in old poets before a vowel, and changing the g into k, máttkar, máttkan, máttkir; máttkari, máttkastr, máttugri, máttugastr; [ mahetteigs = δυνατός; mighty; mächtig]:—mighty; máttkar meyjar, 1; sá inn máttki munr, 93; máttkan moldþinur, 59; með máttkom Kristi, ; fjögur konunga-ríki hafa máttkust verit, 35:—able, máttugr afspring at geta, 26: al-máttugr, almighty; ú-máttugr, weak; á-máttigr, (p. 43, col. 2), perhaps, however, these words are rather akin to anamahtjan = βιάζειν, and thus to mean overbearing, and then = hideous, horrible, as an epithet of trolls and giants.
