fluga, u. f., gen. pl. flugna, a fly, gnat, moth, Stj. 23, 91, Pr. 474, Edda 70, Ver. 20; gesta-fluga, a moth; mý-f., a gnat; bý-f., a bee; randa-f., a wasp; hunangs-f., a honey-fly, a kind of Icel. bee; mel-f., a clothes-moth; þev-f., a kind of tipula: myki-f., a dung-fly: maðka-f., a maggot-fly, all three musca, etc., vide Eggert Itin. ch. 688: the phrase, eins og fluga, swift as a fly. Wizards were said to bewitch flies and send them to kill their enemies (vide galdra-fluga, gand-fluga), hence the phrase, gína við flugu, or taka flugu, to swallow the fly or to carry the fly, i.e. to be the tool of another man, esp. in a wicked and fatal business, Eb. 164; ef Hallgerðr kemr annarri flugu í munn þér, if H. puts another fly in thy mouth, i.e. makes thee to carry another lie, Nj. 64; þeir gina við þessi flugu, Al. 9; era mínligt flugu at gína, 'tis not 'mine-like' to open the mouth for flies, i.e. lies and slander, Kristni S. (in a verse of the year 998); hann fær komit þeirri flugu í munn eins skiptings, Fms. xi. 445. COMPDS: flugu-maðr, m. 'a man of flies,' a wizard, occurs in this sense in the old Swed. law (Verel.): hence metaph. a hired bandit, an assassin, Landn. 181, N. G. L. ii. 51, Fms. v. 45, 190, vi. 188, Glúm. 361, Rd. 307, Lv. 57. flugu-mannligr, adj. looking assassin-like, Fs. 65.

The following entry has been hand-corrected once. |
A.
In
Scandinavia
the
letter
g
begins
many
fewer
words
than
in
German
or
Saxon,
mainly
because
the
prefixed
particle
ge-
is
absent.
In
the
fragments
of
Ulf.,
although
so
little
is
left,
ga-
is
prefixed
to
about
three
hundred
words,
mostly
verbs
and
nouns;
in
the
Anglo-Saxon
at
least
three
or
four
thousand
such
words
are
recorded,
and
in
modern
German
still
more:
indeed
the
number
is
so
to
say
endless,
as
it
can
be
put
to
almost
any
verb.
In
Icel.
the
only
traces
of
this
prefix
are,
I.
in
a
few
words
retaining
g
before
the
liquids
l
and
n
(gl
and
gn):
.
gl
in
the
word
glíkr,
similis
(and
derivatives);
glíkr
is
now
obsolete,
and
even
in
very
old
MSS.
of
the
13th
or
even
the
12th
century
both
forms,
glíkr
and
líkr,
glíkendi
and
líkendi,
glíkjast
and
líkjast,
occur
indiscriminately;
but
in
older
poems
gl
is
the
only
form.
.
gn
in
gnadd,
gnaga,
gnauða,
gnegg,
gneisti,
gnípa,
gnísta,
gnolla,
gnógr,
gnúa,
gnúpr,
gnyðr,
gnæðingr,
gnöllra,
gnötra
(q.v.),
and
some
poët.
words,
as
gnat,
etc.
But
in
mod.
usage,
in
gn
and
gl,
the
g
is
dropped
both
in
spelling
and
pronunciation,
nadd,
naga,
nauða,
hnegg,
neisti,
nípa
...
núpr,
nyðr
or
niðr,
næðingr,
nöllra,
nötra;
the
gn
in
these
words
is
almost
constantly
used
in
very
old
MSS.,
but
even
at
the
end
of
the
13th
and
in
the
14th
century
the
MSS.,
e.g.
Hb.,
begin
to
drop
the
g,
vide
p.
206
sqq.:
the
exceptions
are
few,
e.g.
Icel.
never
say
nýja
tor
gnýja,
but
the
word
itself,
although
known,
is
almost
obsolete:
so
also
in
modern
writers
gnótt
and
gnægtir
(abundance)
often
occur:
but
the
sound
gn
may
be
said
to
be
almost
extinct.
The
Danes,
Swedes,
and
Norse
still
keep
the
g
before
n,
e.g.
Dan.
gnave,
Swed.
gnaga;
whereas
in
glíkr
the
g
has
been
dropped,
and
the
word
has
become
in
Swed.
lik,
etc.;
in
Dan.
lig,
lige,
ligning,
etc.
II.
in
two
Icel.
words
the
prefixed
g
has
hardened
into
a
radical
consonant,
so
that
its
proper
sound
is
no
longer
perceived,
viz.
granni

qs.
g-ranni,
from

domus;
and

explicare,
=
Goth.
garaidian.
The
Scandinavian
tongues
have
furthermore
done
away
with
the
Saxon
and
German
prefix
to
passive
participles,
and
no
trace
of
them
remains
even
in
the
earliest
writers
or
poems.
The
modern
English
has
followed
the
same
law
as
the
Scandinavian
in
gn,
for
though
it
still
appears
in
Engl.
words
(as
gnaw,
gnash),
it
is
hardly
sounded.
The
participial
prefix
remained
long
in
southern
England
(see
Morris's
Specimens),
but
weakened
into
y
or
i
till
at
last
it
dropped
altogether.
