is
a

for
a
sort
of
baptism
used
in
the
last
centuries,

of
the
heathen
age.
The

born
was
sprinkled
with
water
and
named,
yet
without
the
intervention
of
a
priest;
this
rite
is
mentioned
as
early
as
in
the
Hávamál,
one
of
the
very
oldest
mythological
didactic
poems
on
record,
where
it
is
attributed
even
to
Odin;

In the Grág. auvisli, spelt with au or av; in the Ed. of 1829 sometimes with ö where the MSS. have au I. a law term, damages, Lat. damnum; bæta auvisla is a standing law term for to pay compensation for damages done, the amount of which was to be fixed by a jury; bæta skal hann a. á fjórtán nóttum sem búar fimm virða, Grág. i. 383, 418, ii. 229, 121, 223 (Ed. 1853), 225 (twice): hence auvislabót.

In the Edda (Gl.) usli is recorded as one of the sixty names of fire: cp. also the mod. verb ösla, to plunge through: auvisli is now an obsolete word, usli a common word, gjöra usla, to desolate, in the metaph. sense. COMPDS: auvisla-bót and usla-bót (N. G.
