REYKR, m., gen. reykjar. dat. reyki, Sks. 211 B, but usually reyk; with the article reykinum, Eb. 218, Nj 58, 202, mod. reyknum; pl. reykir, reykja, reykjum: [A.S. reôc; Engl. reek; Scot. reek or reik; Germ. rauch; Dan. rög; Swed. rök] :-- reek, smoke, steam; svartr af reyk, Eg. 183; hann gengr með reykinum, Nj. 58: síðan hljóp hann með reykinum, 202; hélt þá reykinum upp í skarðit, Eb. 218; hvert hús er reyk (dat.) reykir, N.G.L. i. 11; þeir sásk til víða, ef þeir sæi reyki eðr nokkur líkendi til þess at landit væri byggt, ok sá þeir þat ekki, Landn. 26; hverfr því likt sem reyk legði, Mar.; hingat leggr allan reykinn, Nj. 202; hverfa sem r. fyrir vindi, Mar.; nú leggr sundr reyki vára ef sinn veg fara hvárir, Fms. vi. 244; hvárt sem mér angrar reykr eða bruni, Nj. 201; kómusk þeir með reyk í brott, Fs. 84; var fullt húsit af reyk, 44: metaph. phrase, vaða reyk, to 'wade in reek' to be all in the wrong; hann lagði halann á bak sér ok setti í burtu, svá at hvárki sá af honum veðr né reyk, Fb. i. 565 :-- reykjar-daunn, reykjar-þefr, a smell of smoke, Fms. ii. 98, Fær. 41, Rb. 240; reykjar-bragð, a taste of smoke; reykjar-svæla, a thick cloud of smoke; reykjar-gufa, vaporous smoke, passim. II. in Icel. local names, Reykir, as well as the compounds with Reykjar- and Reykja-, are freq., marking places with hot springs, the sing. Reykjar- being used when there is but one spring, and the plur. Reykja- when there are more than one, thus, Reykja-á, Reykja-dalr, Reykja-holt (mod. Reyk-holt), Reykja-laug, Reykja-nes, Reykja-hlíð, Reykja-hólar (mod. Reyk-hólar), Reykja-vellir; but Reykjar-fjörðr (twice in western Icel.), Reykjar-dalr, Reykjar-hóll, Reykjar-strönd, Landn.; and lastly, Reykjar-vík, thus Landn. 37, Jb. 4 (Ra/kiarvic), UNCERTAIN Harð. S. ch. 10, for the spring (in Laugarnes) is but one; mod., but less correct, Reykja-vík. Local names beginning with Reyk- are peculiar to Icel., and are not met with in any other Scandin. country; the pillars of transparent steam, as seen afar off, must have struck the mind of the first settlers, who gave the names to the localities. Reyk-dælir, Reyk-nesingar, Reyk-hyltingar, etc., men from R, Landn., Sturl.

In a few Icel. local names, Reynir, Reyni-kelda, Reyni-nes, Reyni-staðr, Reyni-vellir, Landn., Map of Icel.; these names mark places with small rowan-groves at the time of the Settlement, -- the only sort of tree, except the dwarf birch, which was found in Icel. COMPDS: reyni-lundr, runnr, m. a rowan-grove, Edda 60, Sturl. i. 5, 6, Grett (in a verse). reyni-viðr, m. rowan-wood, Sturl. i. 6. reyni-vöndr, m. a rowan-wand, Sturl. i. 6. The rowan was a holy tree consecrated to Thor, see the tale in Edda of the rowan as the help of Thor (Þors-björg); for mod. legends of the rowan see Ísl. Þjóðs. i. 641 sqq.

REYRR, m. [Swed. rör; cp. also hreysi and hrörr, for an h seems to belong to the word, which has been lost in the Swed.] :-- a heap of stones, a cairn (= dys); in the old Swed. law rör is a set of mark-stones, þar ær rör sum fæm stenær æru, Schlyter, see the remarks s.v. lyritr; and in the allit. phrase, rå eða rör; it remains in the poët. reyr-þvengr, rör-thong = a snake, Edda (in a verse); as also in Swed. and Norse local names, Yngva-reyr, the cairn of Y., Ýt. 6; Tryggva-reyrr, the cairn of Tryggvi, Fms. i. 60. &FINGER; The comparison with hrörligr, hrör, hrörna, hreysi (q.v.) seems conclusive that an initial h has been dropped, and that the second r stands for s.

rosm-hvalr, m.

The following entry has been hand-corrected once. |
ancients were divided into 'rooms,' one for each pair of oars; each room consisted of two 'half-rooms' (hálf-rými), viz. one for each oar, thus a ship of thirty 'rooms' had sixty oars, see Vidal. Skýr. s.v. sessum at telja; á Lang-ormi vóru fjögur rúm ok þrjá-tigi, Fms. i. 219 (fjögur rúm ens sétta tigar, Hkr. i. 294, v.l.), cp. Fms. viii. 181; hann var sjau rúm ok tuttugu, Bs. i. 30; var þat skip þrítugt at rúma tali, ok ekki mikit í sér, ... þat skip kallaði hann Tranann, Hkr. i. 275; mikit skip, þar vóru sex rúm ok tuttugu, Fms. viii. 131; var þat þrítugt rúmum, 372. The interesting passage in Fms. ix. 33 (ch. 14) is an instance of ships with double rows of oars; Knútr inn ríki hafði skip furðu-liga stór, hann hafði sjálfr dreka þann er svá var mikill, at sextugr var at ruma tali ... Hákon hafði annan dreka, var sá fertugr at rúma tali, Ó.H. 161: the Hálfd. Eyst. S. ch. 26 (of a ship, tirætt at rúma tali) is a mere fable: only a few of the oar-rooms are known by special names, e.g. stafn-rúm, the two fyrir-rúm (eptra ok fremra), the two austr-rúm (one fore and one aft, or even four, cp. senn jósu vér í fjórum rúmum, Fms, vi, in a verse), the klofa-rúm, krappa-rúm, q.v.; betra er autt rúm en ílla skipað, better an empty seat than an ill-filled one, cp. Landn. 82 (in a verse). COMPDS: rúm-brík, f., see brík. rúm-fastr, adj. bed-ridden. rúm-fjöl, f. the side-board of a bed, see fjöl. rúm-föt, n. pl. bed-clothes. rúm-gylta, f. a sleeping sow(?), a nickname, Landn. rúm-rusk, n.; göra e-m rúmrusk, to shake a lazy fellow out of bed. rúm-stafr, rúm-stokkr, m. a bed-post, Fs. 6, Fms. ix. 293. rúm-stæði, n. a bedstead.
