20 ANDDYRI -- ANDVANA.

Nj. 140, Fms. ii. 148, Bs. i. 804.

and-fang, n. esp. pl. [Germ, empfang], reception, hospitality, Vþm. 8.

it may answer to GREEK, but the mod. use is more strict: as a rule there is

a distinction between 'önd,' f. anima, and 'andi,' m. animus, yet in some

cases both are used indifferently, thus Luke xxiii. 46 is translated by 'andi,'

yet 'önd' is more freq., Pass. 44. 21, 45. I. 2. spirit, spiritual being
