Z (zet). The ancient language had two sibilant sounds, s and z; of which the z never stands at the beginning of a word, but is merely an s assimilated to a preceding dental, in the combinations ld, nd, nn, ll, rð, gð, see Gramm. p. xxxvi, col. I. : its use in ancient vellums is very extensive: 1. in genitives; trollz, íllz (íllr), allz (allr), holtz, Skm. 32; gullz, 22; ellz = elds, botz = botns, Gkv. 3. 9; vatz and vaz = vatns; keyptz, Hm. 107; mótz, Knútz or Knúz = Knúts; vitz (vit); orðz, sverðz, barðz, borðz, garðz, harðz, langbarz, Gkv. 2. 19; Hjörvarðz, Hkv. Hjörv. 19; morðz, bragðz, flagðz, Frissb. 107, l. 19; or also orz, Hm. 141, etc.; prestz, Christz, passim; tjallz, Edda ii. 314; landz or lanz, passim; fjallz, Edda ii-339; but tjalldz, 527; elldz, vindz, 317, 318; gandz, 525; brandz, 529; valldz, 338; sverðz, borðz, 331; but borz, 462, 1. 20; garz, 529; loptz, 341 (twice); but lopz, 317; netz, 327; gautz, 345; hugskozins, Post. 251. 2. in special forms; stendz, Grág. i. 501 (from standa); stennz, id., Ó. H. 143; bitzt from binda, Post. (Unger) 154; vizk, vizt, vatzk from vinda (II), q. v.; but vinnz from vinna, q. v.; biz = biðsk from biðja, Post. (Ungcr) 240: indeed bizt, bazt may be both from binda and biðja: bleiza and blezza (to bless), höllzti, qq. v.; beztr or baztr, the best; œztr = œðstr; þatz and þaz -- þat es, Sæm. passim; þatztu, Am. 87; hvártz = hvárt es, Grág. (Kb.) i. 161: even mz (or mzt) for the older mk, þóttumz, Gkv. 2. 37. 3. when the z is due to a t following it; in the reflex, -sk is the oldest form, whence -z/, -z, -zs t; andask, audazt, andaz, andazst: in the superl. zt, efztir, Frissb. 78, 1. 20; harðazta, l. 33; snarp- azta, l. 16; ríkaztr, 207, l. 18; fríðuzt, l. 34; hagazt, Vkv. 18; grimmaztan, Edda ii. 530; máttkaztr, 280; hvitaz, 267; but st is the usual form, thus, sárastr, grimmastr, hvassastr, Gh. 17: in Ázt-ríðr = Ást-ríðr, Ó. H. 198, l. 12. 4. in such words as veizla, gæzla, reizla, leizla, hræzla, gæzka, lýzka, œzka, æzli, vitzka or vizka, hirzla, varzla, hanzki, = veitsla, ... hirðsla, varðsla, handski, etc.: in reflex, neut. part., thus, hafa borizt, komizt, farizt, tekizt, fundizt, glazt, sagzt, spurzt, kallazt, dæmzt, átzt, ... (from bera ... eiga): in reflex. 2nd pers. pl. pres. and pret., e. g. þér segizt, þér sögðuzt, qs. segit-st, sögðut-st, so as to distinguish it from the 3rd pers., þeir sögðust, qs. sögðu-st. 5. Gitzurr or Gizurr, þjazi, Özurr; afraz-kollr, Ó. H. (pref.); huliz-hjálmr; Vitaz-gjafi, q. v.; but alaðs-festr, Grág. (Kb.) i. 88; viz, see víðr II: in foreign names, Jariz- leifr, Jariz-karr, Buriz-leifr, Gkv. 2. 19, Fms. vi. The etymology of words may often be decided by this; e. g. in beisl, a bridle, beiskr, bitter, the s of the vellums shews that neither word is derived from bíta; beiskr is in fact akin to Engl. beestings, Ulf. beist = GREEK, A. S. beost: geiska fullr, Hkv. 2. 35, is not from geit, but from geisa: laz or latz (p. 376, col. 1) is from Fr. lace, not= Icel. láss: misseri (q. v.) is no relation to miðr, etc.: at lesti, at last, being spelt with s, not z, is not related to latr, but derived from leistr = a cobbler's last, at lesti = Lat. in calce, see Mr. Sweet's Ed. of Gregory's Pastoral Care, p. 474: again, vaztir is akin to vatr = vatn: exceptional cases, -- vissi, pret; from vita, and sess, a seat. II. after a single dental (unless it be t) s, not z, is written; thus, gen. Guðs, boðs, brauðs, auðs, góðs, óðs, vaðs, liðs, öls, fals, háls, frjáls, víns, eins, etc., passim: z is quite exceptional, e. g. liðz, Frissb. 106, ll. 16, 33 (but liðs, Hbl. 33, Am. 43): so also after rn, rl, nl, rn, fn, gn, barns, Clem. 134; karls, Hkv. 2.2 ; jarls, Hm. 97; hrafns, segls, regns, tungls (regn, Edda ii. 340). The vellums are very irregular in the distinction of a single or double consonant, but the sibilant used shews the true form of the word; in 'Odz Colssonar,' Ö. H. (pref.) l. II, the z and s shew the names to be Oddr and Kolr, not Oðr, Kollr; in a vellum els would be gen. of él, e;lz of eldr; in grunz, Edda ii. 287; lunz, 317; hlunz, ranz, lanz, 333; elz, Post, (Unger) 234; golz, 225, l. 23; odz, Ó. H. (pref.), l. II; alz, etc., the z shews that though there is only one n, l, etc. written, they were actually sounded double, grunnz, hlunnz, rannz, landz, eldz, gollz, oddz, allz. 2. the s docs not change into z if the word is a compd; as, skáld-skapr, vind-svalr, út-suðr, passim; hirð-stjóri, Edda ii. 335, shewing that in ancient times the pronunciation was more distinct than at the present day; the z in orðztír (Edda ii. 344, orztír, 463) shews that the word is qs. orðz-tírr; yet we lind such forms as innzigli, Post. 238; guðzspjall, 239; ástzamliga, 243; handzceld, Barl.; randzaka. Post. 134, l. 29; but rannsaka, l. 14; nauzyn = nauðsyn, Skálda 167. 21; nauzun, Edda ii. 236; anzvara, annzkoti, = andsvara, andskoti, etc. III. about the 15th century (or earlier) the z sound began to disappear, and s took its place, being at present the only sibilant used in Icel. In later vellums the z is therefore cither little used or is misapplied, as in the ad- ditions by the third hand in the Flatey-book, or it is used to excess as in modern Dutch. In modern spelling, including Editions of Sagas, the z has been disused, except in the instances coming under the rule given in I. 4: yet with exception of ðs, for the moderns write leiðsla, hræðsla, beiðsla, náðst, old leizla, názt, except in reisla (i. e. reizla) from reiða; hirzla qs. hirdsla. 2. zz is sounded as ss, blessa, Gissur, Össur; so also vass, boss, = vatz, botz; even ris, gars, lans, sans, for orz, garz, lanz, sanz (gen. of orð, garðr, land, sandr).

ÞING, n. [no Goth. þigg is recorded; A.S. and Hel. þing; Engl. thing; O.H.G., Germ., and Dutch ding; Dan.-Swed. ting] A. A thing, Lat. res. In the Icel. this sense of the word is almost unknown, although in full use in mod. Dan.-Swed. ting, where it may come from a later Germ. influence. II. in plur. articles, objects, things, esp. with the notion of costly articles: þeir rannsaka allan hans reiðing ok allan hans klæðnað ok þing, articles, Sturl. iii. 295; þau þing (articles, inventories) er hann keypti kirkjunni innan sik, Vm. 20; þessi þing gaf Herra Vilkin kirkjunni í Klofa, -- messu-klæði, kaleik, etc., 26. 2. valuables, jewels (esp. of a married lady), the law often speaks of the 'þing' and the 'heimanfylgja;' ef maðr fær konu at lands-lögum réttum ... þá skulu lúkask henni þing sín ok heimanfylgja, Gþl. 231; hann hafði ór undir-heimum þau þing at eigi munu slík í Noregi, Fms. iii. 178; siðan tók hón þing sín, 195; eptir samkvámu (marriage) þeirra þá veitti Sveinn konungr áhald þingum þeim er ját vóru ok skilat með systur hans, x. 394; maðr skal skilja þing með frændkonu sinni ok svá heiman-fylgju, N.G.L. ii; skal Ólafr lúka Geirlaugu þing sín, svá mikil sem hón fær löglig vitni til, D.N. i. 108; þinga-veð, a security for a lady's paraphernalia, D.N. passim. B. As a law phrase [see Þingvöllr]: I. an assembly, meeting, a general term for any public meeting, esp. for purposes of legislation, a parliament, including courts of law; in this sense þing is a standard word throughout all Scandinavian countries (cp. the Tyn-wald, or meeting-place of the Manx parliament): technical phrases, blása til þings, kveðja þings, stefna þing, setja þing, kenna þing (N.G.L. i. 63); helga þing, heyja þing, eiga þing; slíta þingi, segja þing laust, to dissolve a meeting, see the verbs: so also a þing 'er fast' when sitting, 'er laust' when dissolved (fastr I. , lauss II. 7); Dróttins-dag hinn fyrra í þingi, ríða af þingi, ríða á þing, til þings, vera um nótt af þingi, öndvert þing, ofanvert þing, Grág. i. 24, 25; nú eru þar þing (parliaments) tvau á einum þingvelli, ok skulu þeir þá fara um þau þing bæði (in local sense), 127; um várit tóku bændr af þingit ok vildu eigi hafa, Vápn. 22; hann hafði tekit af Vöðla-þing, skyldi þar eigi sóknar-þing heita, Sturl. i. 141: in countless instances in the Sagas and the Grág., esp. the Nj. passim, Íb. ch. 7, Gísl. 54-57, Glúm. ch. 24, 27, Eb. ch. 9, 10, 56, Lv. ch. 4, 15-17: other kinds of assemblies in Icel. were Leiðar-þing, also called Þriðja-þing, Grág. i. 148; or Leið, q.v.; hreppstjórnar-þing (see p. 284); manntals-þing; in Norway, bygða-þing, D.N. ii. 330; hús-þing, vápna-þing, refsi-þing, v. sub vocc. :-- eccl. a council, H.E. i. 457, Ann. 1274; þing í Nicea, 415. 14. 2. a parish (opp. to a benefice); in Iceland this word is still used of those parishes whose priest does not reside by the church, no manse being appointed as his fixed residence; such a parish is called þing or þinga-brauð (and he is called þinga-prestr, q.v.), as opp. to a 'beneficium,' Grág. i. 471, K.Þ.K. 30, 70, K.Á. passim; bóndi er skyldr at ala presti hest til allra nauðsynja í þingin, Vm. 73; tíundir af hverjum bónda í þingunum, 96, Bs. i. 330, H.E. ii. 48, 85, 128. 3. an interview, of lovers, H.E. i. 244; þat var talat at Þorbjörn væri í þingum við Þórdísi, Gísl. 5; nær þú á þingi mant nenna Njarðar syni, Skm. 38; man-þing, laun-þing. II. loc. a district, county, shire, a þing-community, like lög (sec p. 369, col. 2, B. II); a 'þing' was the political division of a country; hence the law phrase, vera í þingi með goða, to be in the district of such and such a godi, to be his liegeman, cp. þingfesti; or, segjask or þingi, see the Grág., Nj., and Sagas, passim; full goðorð ok forn þing, Grág. i. 15; í því þingi eðr um þau þing, 85. In later times Icel. was politically divided into twelve or thirteen counties. In old days every community or 'law' had its own assembly or parliament, whence the double sense of 'lög' as well as of 'þing.' C. HISTORICAL REMARKS. -- In Norway the later political division and constitution of the country dates from king Hacon the Good and his counsellors Thorleif the Wise and earl Sigurd. As king Harold Fairhair was the conqueror of Norway, so was his son Hacon her legislator as also the founder of her constitution, and of her political division into 'þings;' for this is the true meaning of the classical passage, -- hann (king Hacon) lasgði mikinn hug á laga-setning í Noregi, hann setti Gulaþings-lög ok Frostaþings-lög, ok Heiðsævis-lög fyrst at upphafi, en áðr höfðu sér hverir fylkis-menn lög, Ó.H. 9; in Hkr. l.c. the passage runs thus -- hann setti Gulaþings-lög með ráði Þorleifs spaka, ok hann setti Frostaþings-lög með ráði Sigurðar jarls ok annara Þrænda þeirra er vitrastir vóru, en Heiðsævis-lög hafði sett Hálfdan svarti, sem fyrr er ritað, Hkr. 349 new Ed.; the account in Eg. ch. 57, therefore, although no doubt true in substance, is, as is so often the case in the Sagas, an anachronism; for in the reign of Eric 'Bloodaxe,' there were only isolated fylkis-þing, and no Gula-þing. In later times St. Olave added a fourth þing, Borgar-þing, to the three old ones of king Hacon (those of Gula, Frosta, and Heiðsævi); and as he became a saint, he got the name of legislator in the popular tradition, the credit of it was taken from Hacon, the right man; yet Sighvat the poet speaks, in his Bersöglis-vísur, of the laws of king Hacon the foster-son of Athelstan. Distinction is therefore to be made between the ancient 'county' þing and the later 'united' þing, called lög-þing (Maurer's 'ding-bund'); also almennilegt þing or almanna-þing, D.N. ii. 265, iii. 277; fjórðunga þing, ii. 282; alþingi, alls-herjar-þing. The former in Norway was called fylkis-þing, or county þing; in Icel. vár-þing, héraðs-þing, fjórðungs-þing (cp. A.S. scîrgemot, a shiremote). Many of the old pre-Haconian fylkis-þing or shiremotes seem to have continued long afterwards, at least in name, although their importance was much reduced; such we believe were the Hauga-þing (the old fylkis-þing of the county Westfold), Fms. viii. 245, Fb. ii. 446, iii. 24; as also Þróndarness-þing, Arnarheims-þing, Kefleyjar-þing, Mork. 179. II. in Iceland the united þing or parliament was called Al-þingi; for its connection with the legislation of king Hacon, see Íb. ch. 2-5 (the chronology seems to be confused): again, the earlier Icel. spring þings (vár-þing), also called héraðs-þing (county þing) or fjórðunga-þing (quarter þing), answer to the Norse fylkis-þing; such were the Þórness-þing, Eb., Landn., Gísl., Sturl.; Kjalarness-þing, Landn. (App.); Þverár-þing, Íb.; also called Þingness-þing, Sturl. ii. 94; Húnavatns-þing, Vd.; Vöðla-þing, Lv., Band.; Skaptafells-þing, Nj.; Árness-þing, Flóam. S.; þingskála-þing, Nj.; Hegraness-þing, Glúm., Lv., Grett.; Múla-þing (two of that name), Jb. (begin.), cp. Grág. i. 127; Þorskafjarðar-þing, Gísl., Landn.; Þingeyjar-þing, Jb.; further, Krakalækjar-þing, Dropl. (vellum, see Ny Fél. xxi. 125); Sunnudals-þing, Vápn.; þing við Vallna-laug, Lv.; þing í Straumfirði, Eb.; Hvalseyrar-þing, Gísl.; or þing í Dýrafirði, Sturl.; Fjósatungu-þing, Lv. III. in Sweden the chief þings named were Uppsala-þing, Ó.H.; and Mora-þing (wrongly called Múla-þing, Ó.H. l.c., in all the numerous vellum MSS. of this Saga; the Icelandic chronicler or the transcriber probably had in mind the Icel. þing of that name). IV. in Denmark, Vebjarga-þing, Knytl. S.; Íseyrar-þing, Jómsv. S. V. in the Faroe Islands, the þing in Þórshöfn, Fær.: in Greenland, the þing in Garðar, Fbr. VI. freq. in Icel. local names, Þing-völlr, Þing-vellir (plur.) = Tingwall, in Shetland; Þing-nes, Þing-eyrar, Þing-ey, Þing-eyri (sing.); Þing-múli, Þing-skálar, etc., Landn., map of Icel.; Þing-holt (near Reykjavik). D. COMPDS: þings-afglöpun, f. contempt of court, a law phrase, Grág. i. 5, Nj. 150. þings-boð, n. a summons to a þing, N.G.L. i. 55. þinga-brauð, n. a parish-vicarage, see B. I. 2. þinga-deild, f. litigation at a þing, Íb. 8. þinga-dómr, m. a court at a þing, a public court, Grág. i. 127. þinga-kvöð, f. a summoning persons to an assembly, to perform public duties there; vanda skal búa í þingakvöð, Grág. i. 142. þinga-prestr, m. a vicar of a parish (B. I. 2), Sturl. i. 125, H.E. ii. 215. þinga-saga, u, f. = þingaþáttr, Mork. 174. þinga-tollr, m. a church-toll, H.E. ii. 509, D.I. 276. þinga-þáttr, m. (Hkr. l.c.), the name of the interesting record in Mork. 174.

gengit í rekkju hjá Ingibjrgu, dóttur hans. Margir hfðingj-
ar aðrir strengðu heit ýmissa hluta. Drukku menn þann dag
erfit; en eptir um morguninn, þá er Jómsvíkingar váru ódrukkn-
ir, þóttusk þeir hafa fullmælt ok hafa málstefnur sínar ok 35
ráða ráðum hvernig þeir skulu til stilla um ferðina; ráða þat
af, at búask þá sem skyndiligast. Búa þá skip sín ok herlið;
varð þat allfrægt víða um lnd.
Eiríkr jarl Hákonarson spyrr þessi tíðendi. Hann var þá
á Raumaríki ; dró hann þegar lið at sér ok ferr til Upplanda 40
ok svá norðr um fjall til Þrándheims á fund Hákonar jarls
fður síns.
Hákon jarl ok Eiríkr jarl láta skera upp herr um ll
Þrondalg, senda boð á Mœri hváratveggju ok í Raumsdal,
svá norðr í Naumudal ok á Hálogaland, stefna síðan út llum 45
almenningi at liði ok skipum.
Sigvaldi jarl helt liði sínu norðr um Stað; lagði fyrst til
Hereyja. Landsmenn, þótt víkingar fyndi, þá sgðu þeir
aldri satt til, hvat jarlar hfðusk at. Víkingar herjuðu hvar
sem þeir fóru. Þeir lgðu útan at Hð, runnu þar upp ok 50
herjuðu, fœrðu til skipa bæði man ok bú, en drápu karla þá
er vígt var at. En er þeir fóru ofan til skipa, þá kom til þeira
gamall bóndi einn, en þar fór nær sveit Búa. Bóndinn mælti:
'Þér farið óhermannliga, rekið til strandar kýr ok kálfa; væri
yðr meiri veiðr at taka bjrninn er nú er nær kominn á bjarn- 55
básinn.' 'Hvat segir karl'? segja þeir; 'kantu nkkut segja
oss til Hákonar jarls'? Bóndi segir: 'Hann fór í gær inn í
Hjrundarfjrð; hafði jarl eitt skip eða tvau, eigi váru fleiri
en þrjú, ok hafði ekki til yðvar spurt.' Þeir Búi taka þegar
á hlaup til skipanna ok láta laust alt herfang. Búi mælti: 60
'Njótum vér nú, er vér hfum fengit njósn, ok verum næstir
sigrinum'. En er þeir koma á skipin, róa þeir þegar út.
Kallaði Sigvaldi jarl á þá ok spurði tíðenda. Þeir segja at

Hákon jarl ok Eiríkr jarl, sonr hans, lágu í Hallkelsvík.
Var þar saman kominn herr þeira allr; hfðu þeir hálft annat
hundrað skipa ok hfðu þá spurt at Jómsvíkingar hfðu lagt
útan at Hð. Røru þá jarlar sunnan at leita þeira, en er
70 þeir koma þar sem heitir Hjrungavágr, þá finnask þeir.
Skipa þá hvárirtveggju sínu liði til atlgu. Var í miðju liði
merki Sigvalda jarls. Þar skipaði Hákon jarl til atlgu;
hafði Sigvaldi jarl tuttugu skip, en Hákon sex tigu. Í annan
fylkingararm var Búi Digri ok Sigurðr bróðir hans með tuttugu
75 skipum; þar lagði í móti Eiríkr jarl Hákonarson sex tigu
skipa. Í annan fylkingararm lagði fram Vagn Ákason með
tuttugu skipum en þar í móti Sveinn Hákonarson með sex
tigum skipa.
Síðan lgðu þeir saman flotann; teksk þar in grimmasta
80 orrosta ok fell mart af hvárumtveggjum ok miklu fleira af
Hákonar liði, því at Jómsvíkingar brðusk bæði hraustliga ok

tveggju sóttu it djarfasta. Vagn Ákason lagði svá hart fram

Þá réð Eiríkr aptr til liðs síns, ok hfðu þá hans menn
undan hamlat, en Búi hafði þá hggvit tengslin ok ætlaði at
reka flóttann. Þá lagði Eiríkr jarl síbyrt við skip Búa, ok
varð þá hggorrosta in snarpasta, ok lgðu þá tvau eða þrjú
95 Eiríks skip at Búa skipi einu. Þá gørði íllviðri ok él svá
mikit at haglkornit eitt vá eyri. Þá hjó Sigvaldi tengslin ok
