Mjölnir, m., in the vellums spelt mjollnir, with o and ll (see Bugge in the foot-note to Vþm. 51); the ll seems to indicate that the n is radical, for if it were inflexive, it would be mjolnir (with one l): [therefore the derivation from mala or mola (to crush), though probable, is not certain; the word may be akin to Goth. milhma = cloud, Swed. moln, Dan. mulm; cp. provinc. Norse molnas (Ivar Aasen) = to grow dark from bands of cloud arising] :-- the name of Thor's hammer, Edda passim, Ls.

NIÐ, f., pl. niðar, N. G. L. i. 29; dat. pl. niðjum, Vsp. 6 (later niðum); the gender is seen from the pl. niðar (l. c.) from the compd niðar- below, as also from the provinc. Norse and Swed. near; [Swed. nedar; Dan. næ; Ivar Aasen near] :-- the wane of the moon, when there is 'no moon;' it is in use in Sweden and Denmark, but now obsolete in Iceland, except in the compd niða-myrkr, qs. niðar-myrkr; in old writers esp. in the allit. phrases, ný ok nið, full moon and no moon, Vþm. 25; Máni stýrir göngu tungls ok ræðr nýjum ok niðum, Edda 7; um ny hit næsta ok niðar (acc. pl.), N. G. L. i. 29; nótt með niðum, Vþm. 24; nótt ok niðjum (i. e. niðum) nöfn um gáfu, Vsp. 6; máni, ný, nið, Edda 76: poët., niða borg = the heaven, Skálda (in a verse). COMPDS: Nlða-fjöll, n. pl. a mythical local name, Vsp. niða-myrkr, n. ' nið-mirk,' pitch darkness and no moon; þeir höfðu skriðljós með sér, en niðamyrkr var úti, Ó. H. 71, Fms. ii. 5; n. var á, Eg. 216, 235, Fms. viii. 429: the word is now used without thinking of the moon, simply = pitch darkness; also kol-niðamyrkr, coal-pitch-dark.

The following entry has been hand-corrected once. |
NYKR, m., gen. nykrs, [a word common to all Teut. languages; A. S. nicor; Engl. nick; Germ. nix; Dan. nök and nisse; mod. Norse nyk; Swed. näcken = a sea goblin; one is tempted to suggest that the Lat. Neptunus (p = g) may be related to this Teutonic word; cp. also Germ. neckisch, neckerei = whims, Dan. nykker] :-- the 'nick,' a fabulous water-goblin, mostly appearing in the shape of a gray water-horse, emerging from lakes, to be recognised by its inverted hoofs, cp. the tale told in Landn. 2. ch. 10, as also Maurer's Volksagen: poët., nykra borg = 'nick-burrow,' a lake, Lex. Poët. The nykr is the Proteus of the Northern tales, and takes many shapes, whence the gramm. term nykrat, part. a kind of kakemphaton, a change in a figure of speech, e. g. to call a sword first a 'serpent' and then a 'wand,' or to choose a verb which does not suit the trope in the noun; sá löstr er vér köllum nykrat eðr finngálknat . . . ok er þar svá skipt líkneskjum á hinum sama hlut, sem nykrinn skiptisk á margar leiðir, Skálda 187; en ef sverð er ormr kallaðr en síðan fiskr eða vöndr eðr annan veg breytt, þat kalla menn nykrat ok þykir þat spilla, Edda 123. In mod. Norse tales a water-goblin is called nykk or nök (nökken), see Ivar Aasen and Mr. Dasent's Transl. of Asbjörnsen and Moe's Norse Tales. The legend exists also in the Highlands of Scotland. In mod. Icel. tales the nykr is also called nennir or kumbr, q. v.; nykr-hestr, vatna-hestr. II. the hippopotamus; nykrar svá stórir sem fílar, Al. 167, 171.

Ó-
or
ú-,
the
negative
prefix
before
nouns
and
verbs,
[Goth.,
Engl.,
and
Germ.
un-;
Dan.
and
Swed.
û-,
the
nasal
being
absorbed.
The
Icel.
at
a
very
early
date
changed
this
ú
into
ó,
for
the
very
oldest
and
best
vellums
use
ó,
not
only
the
Greg.,
Eluc.,
Íb.,
the
Miracle-book
(Bs.

333
sqq.),
but
also
the
Grág.,
the
Cod.
Reg.
of
the
Sæm.
Edda,
etc.;
in
later
vellums
of
the
better
kind
ú
and
ó
are
used
promiscuously;
till
about
the
union
with
Norway
the
ú
prevailed,
and
is
chiefly
used
in
vellums
of
the
14th
century;
but
in
the
15th
the
ó
again
took
its
old
place,
and
has
been
retained
ever
since,
agreeably
with
the
usual
pronunciation.
The
ó
is
therefore
the
proper
Icel.
form,
e.g.
ó-vitr
=
Engl.
un-wise;
that
it
was
sounded
thus
even
in
the
12th
century
is
also
shewn
by
the

of

This
change
of
spelling
in
the
MSS.
about
(or
a
little
before)
the
union
with
Norway
cannot
have
been
owing
to
any
change
in
pronunciation,
but
was
simply
a
Norwegianism,
as
were
many
other
cases,
e.g.
the
dropping
the
h
before
liquids,
contrary
to
the
Icel.
pronunciation.
On
the
other
hand,
as
for
the
rest
of
Scandinavia,
the
ú
has
been
retained
in
Denmark
and
in
the
east
of
Norway;
but
ó
in
the
west
and
north
of
Norway
(see
Ivar
Aasen's
Dict.),
as
also
in
mod,
Swed.
(e.g.
o-möjlig
=
Germ.
un-möglich).
In
early
Swed.
(in
the
laws)
u
and
o
are
used
indifferently.
The
Orkneys
seem
to
have
followed
the
Icel.,
to
judge
from
a
rhyme
in
the
poem
Jd.
composed
by
bishop
Bjarni
(died
A.D.
1222),
a
native
of
the
Orkneys,
--
ó-teitan
mik
sútar,
the
metre
of
which
requires
a
half
rhyme,
a
rule
followed
strictly
throughout
that
poem.
B.
Of
the
compds
with
ú-
or
ó-,
all
but
a
few
words
are
from
un-;
these
exceptional
words
appear
to
be
contractions,
either,
.
from
ör-,
where
we
have
such
double
forms
as
ör-sekr
and
ó-sekr,
N.G.L.
i.
379;
ör-viti
and
ó-viti,
ó-verðr
and
ör-verðr,
ó-vænn
and
ör-vænn,
ör-hæfi
and
ú-hæfa,
ör-keypis
and
ó-keypis,
ú-dæmi
qs.
ör-dæmi(?),
ó-bóta
qs.
ör-bóta(?),
ó-birgr
and
ör-birgr;
perh.
also
ú-helgi
qs.
ör-helgi,
ú-heilagr
qs.
ör-heilagr;
cp.
also
such
words
as
ú-megin
and
ör-megna,
ú-synja
qs.
ör-synja(?).
.
from
of-,
esp.
before
a
labial
or
dental;
thus,
of-vægr
and
ó-vægr,
ó-frýnn
qs.
of-frýnn,
ó-skö;p
=
of-sköp(?),
ó-freskr
qs.
of-freskr,
ó-fyrirsynju
qs.
of-fyrirsynju(?),
ó-hljóð
or
ú-hljóð
qs.
of-hljóð(?),
of-dæll
and
ó-dæll,
of-ljóss
and
ó-ljóss.
In
some
of
these
instances
doubt
may
arise,
for
a
double
set
of
compds
might
have
sprung
up.
On
the
other
hand,
the
great
number
of
compds
with
ur-,
er-
in
German
and
Saxon,
and
the
scarcity
of
such
words
in
the
Norse
tongue,
lead
to
the
conclusion
that
many
of
these
compds
in
the
course
of
time
have
been
lost
or
replaced
by
ú-;
cp.
also
of-allt
and
á-valt,
(of-saka
and
á-saka,
of-brýði
and
á-brýði,
of-munir
and
á-munr,
af-vöxtr
and
á-vöxtr,
af-burðr
and
of-burðr?).
Since
in
most
Editions
the
spelling
with
ú-
has
been
adopted
in
these
classes
of
words,
they
must
be
sought
for
under
that
head.
