This article examines the word "þveit" and its derivatives in Old Norse and Old English. The word has a primary meaning of "sliver" or "cut-off piece" and is related to the verb "þwītan" meaning "to whittle." It is primarily found in place names in Norway and is absent in Icelandic, possibly due to the lack of forests. The article also explores the use of "þveit" in skaldic poetry and its potential association with Egill Skalla-Grímsson. Overall, this text provides valuable insights into the linguistic and cultural significance of the word "þveit" in Old Norse literature. [Extracted from the article] |
