neit
nafnorðhvorugkyn
flour, efflorescence, a ; neit Menju góð, the costly flour of Menja, gold, 3. 50; the word remains, though with a false aspirate, in common hneita (), the white efflorescence on seaweed (söl); akin is the phrase, það hnitar í báru (in a ditty of Pal ), the waves are white-tipped (as if sprinkled with flour); the explanation given in , neit, is erroneous.
