on
the

'of.'
Among

the

ör-lygi, n. another form for örlög, [mid. H.G. urliugi; cp. Dutch orlog = war; whence again mod. Dan. orlog = warfare at sea] :-- fate, doom, generally conceived as coming in or by war; heyja eyrlygi, Eg. (in a verse); heyr undr mikit, heyr örlygi ('hear words of doom'), heyr mál mikit, heyr manns bana! Gísl. 15, (these alliterative words are evidently a fragment of an old lay, see Mr. Dasent's Transl. p. 30, l.c.) In Edda (Gl.) 'örlygi' is entered among the names of 'battles:' in a verse of Bragi, örlygis-draugr, a battle-worker, warrior; these are the only places in which we find the word, while in Dutch and Low Germ. it is common, but see örlög.
