ÞRÚÐR, f., acc. and dat. Þrúði, the name of a goddess, the daughter of Thor and Sif, Edda, Lex. Poët.; also the name of a woman, Þrúðr; as also in compds, Her-þrúðr, Sig-þrúðr, Jar-þrúðr, Landn., Fms.; cp. the Germ. drude = a witch or evil fairy, Grimm's Dict. s.v. B. IN COMPDS; [the etymology may be illustrated from the Goth. þroþjan = GREEK, us-þroþjan = GREEK, us-þroþeins = GREEK; to this root belongs í-þrótt (q.v.), qs. ið-þrót; perh. also þróttr, q.v.; or is it akin to Germ. drude (for which see Grimm's Dict.)?]: used in some old poët. compd words referring to Thor: Þrúð-hamarr, m. the master hammer of Thor, Ls. 57: Þrúð-heimr, Þrúð-vangr, m. the name of the mythical abode of Thor, Gm. 4, Edda: þ;rúð-valdr, in þrúðvaldr goða, the heroic, doughty defender of the gods, i.e. Thor, Hbl.

Þýðverskr, adj., but better Þýðerskr, often spelt Þyeskr; the v and r are due to a wrong notion as to its origin, as if it came from -verjar (= men) instead of the inflex. iskr, as is seen from the German form; [0.H.G. Diutisc; mid.H.G. Diutisch, Tiusch; low Lat. Theotiscus;; Hel. Thiudisk; mod. Germ. Teutsch, Deutsch; Engl. Dutch; these forms shew that v and r are in the Norse wrongly inserted; the old Icel. word was evidently borrowed from the Germ. through the trading people, perhaps in the 11th or 12th century; it does not therefore appear in a genuine Norse form, for then the inflexive iskr should have been assimilated to the preceding root word, so forming a monosyllable; the mod. form Þýzkr is in this respect correct; the root word is Goth. þiuda = þjóð, see Grimm's Dict. s.v. ii. 1043; in Ulf. þiuþisko = GREEK] :-- German; Þýðerskir menn (Þýðverskir, Þýverskir, Þýðskir, v.l.), Fms. viii. 248; Vindum ok Þýðeskum mönnum, x. 45, v.l.; Þýðerska menn, 47; en Þýðeskir menn segja, Fas. i. 332; Þýverskir, Fb. i. 355. l.c.; Þýveskr, Ann. 1342 C; svá segir í kvœðum Þýðærskum, Þiðr. 304; frá sögn Þýðærskra manna, 334; Þýðeskum kvæðum, 231, 330, 352; Þýðeskra manna sögur, 180; í Þýðersk tunga, 1, 302, 304.

njótr, m., add, -- njóts-minni, n. [still in Norway called njös-minne, Ivar Aasen, in the new Edition of his Dict., of a cup drunk by customers after striking a bargain] :-- a kind of 'earnest-cup;' sendi hann honum eina skál fulla mjaðar, ok bað hann drekka njótsminni (mótsminni is an error), hér með, segir konungr, vil ek gefa þér, Sveinn, jarlsnafn, etc., Fms. vi. 52: the suggestion at the end of the article is therefore true.
