GILDR, adj., neut. gilt, [cp. gildi, gjalda; Swed., Dan., and Norse gild] :-- of full worth, full: 1. a trade term, of full measure, size, quality, and the like; gillt fé, Grág. i. 503; gildr skal tréskjöldr, ef, Gþl. 105, cp. 104; bolöxar gildar, N.G.L. i. 126; þeim manni er bæði hefir gildar (full-measured) álnar ok faðma, Grág. ii. 262; gild dagleið, Bs. ii. 2. valued at, with dat., gildr tveim mörkum, Grág. ii. 86; g. átta aurum, id.; svá gildr, id.; hversu þau sár eru gild, at how much those wounds are rated, N.G.L. i. 172; tví-gildr, hálf-g., al-g., of double, half, full worth. II. metaph. complete, absolute, great; g. konungr, Fms. ix. 69; g. höfðingi, xi. 18; gild húsfreyja, Glúm. 349; gildr maðr, Eg. 182; flestir enir gildari menn (honoratiores), Ld. 106; Hallfreyðr var þá sem gildastr, H. was then at his best, Fs. 100; á gildasta aldri, id., Stj. 230: so of things, honum var þat gildr þykkr, a great shock, Ísl. ii. 321; með gildum sóma, with great fame, Fms. xi. 18; gild hefnd, Ísl. ii. 116; gild ferð, a famous journey, Fas. ii. 513. III. in mod. usage, stout, brawny, cp. Grett. 148; Icel. now say gildr of a man, digr of things; but in compds, mittis-digr, not mittis-gildr; to use digr and digrask (q.v.) for gildr and gildna is now thought rude; but in olden times only digr was used in that sense, e.g. Ólafr Digri, Þorbjörg Digra (a lady); the passage referred to, Grett. 148, comes near the mod. sense of that word, but is not to be so understood.

karl-gildr, adj., a law term, meaning full, complete; thus karlgildr úmagi means, not a 'male-úmagi,' but a 'complete invalid,' one who can contribute nothing towards his sustenance, e.g. an infant, a sick or aged person, male or female. The word is a standing term in the old church deeds, where the donor charged the gift with the support of a karlgild úmagi for ever, D. I. passim. The old Swedish laws present the same use of the word, e.g. karlgild mark = good money, money of full value, see Verel. s.v.

MÁNUÐR, and mánaðr, m., mónoðr with umlaut, Íb. 376; gen. mánaðar, nom. acc. pl. mánuðr (like vetr); mod. mánuðir, acc. mánuði, which form occurs in vellums of the 15th century; thus, mánaði (acc. pl.), Bs. i. 825, 896; even mánuðu (acc. pl.), 837, Fb. i. 205: [from máni: cp. Ulf. mênoþs; A.S. mônað; Old Engl. moneth; Engl. month; O.H.G. mânod; Germ. monat; Dan. maaned; Swed. månad; Lat. mensis; Gr. GREEK] :-- a month; á mánaði, for a month, Hm. 73; mánuðr níu, Rm. 6, 18, 30, Hom. 127; mónoðr tólf þritög-náttar, Jb. 376; þrjá mánaðr þrjátigu nátta, K.Þ.K. 164, Fms. ix. 239; aðra tvá mánoðr, Grág. ii. 261; tveir mánaðr, i. 420; sjau mánaðr, fimm mánaðr, ii. 393: tólf mánuðr, a twelvemonth, year; á hverjum tólf mánuðum, every twelvemonth, Hom. 149; ok hann hefir tólf mánuðr at gjöldum eðr handsölum, Grág. i. 196; halda þær tólf mánaðr þaðan frá er kona var föstnuð, 378; hvárt þat var af hinum tuttugustum tólf mánuðum, the twentieth year, Grett. 173 new Ed.; kaupa þeir nú enn saman um tólf mánuðr, Fb. ii. 124. The old heathen year consisted of twelve months, each of thirty days, so that a pentad (fimmt) added to that number made the year complete. For the names of the economical months see Edda 103 (gor-m., frer-m., hrút-m., ein-m., sól-m., and sel-m., kornskurðar-m.); tví-mánaðr (q.v.), the 'double month;' út-mánuðir, the last months of the winter (of Þorri, Gói, Ein-mánuðr), það er komið fram á út-mánuði; see also the Icel. Almanack, where the old months are still marked. Of the Julian Calendar we have Martius mánaðar, 623. 37, Rb. passim; but that computation never came into household use in Iceland, where the old calendar (of Þorri, Gói, Ein-m., etc.) still prevails for all domestic affairs: astron., tungl-m., a lunar month; sól-m., a solar month. In popular usage, as elsewhere, a month often means four weeks, and hálfr mánuðr, half a month = a fortnight; hálfum mánaði eptir mitt sumar, Nj. 4; á hálfs mánaðar fresti, within half a month, a fortnight, Fms. x. 411; á hálfum mánaði, Grág. i. 152. COMPDS: mánaðar-beit, f. a month's 'bait' or pasture, Dipl. v. 15. mánaðar-dagr, m. the day of the (Julian) month, Ann. 1393. mánaðar-frest, n. a month's notice, Fas. iii. 649. mánaðar-mata, u, f., or -matr, m. a month's rate, a Norse law term referring to the value of estates, an estate being valued at so and so many months' mata, see mata, N.G.L., B.K., D.N. passim. mánaða-mót, n. pl. the time when one month ends and another begins; um mánaðar-mótið, Fb. iii. 454, where sing. mánaðar-rekstr, m. for a month's pasture, Dipl. v. 28. mánaðar-ró, f. a month's rest, Þorst. St. 55. mánaðar-stefna, u, f. a summons with a month's notice, Jb. 26 A. mánaðar-tal, n. a 'month's tale,' computation of a month, Rb. 488. mánaðar-tími, a, m. the space of a month.
