VÁLGR, adj., or better valgr, sounded volgr; [this word, so freq. in mod. usage, is not found in old writers (Fas. i. 84 is a paper MS.); they always use fjálgr (q.v.), identical in sense, but unknown in mod. Icel.; the mod. form, glóð-volgr, ember-hot, exactly answers to glóð-fjálgr' of the Ýt.; in-fjálgr, Hkv., must be a false reading for ú-fjálgr = ofjelg, a word frequent in the mod. Norwegian dialects, meaning 'un-warm,' i.e. cold, chilly, dismal, see Ivar Aasen; in A.S. wealg occurs in a single instance, viz. in Gregory's Pastorale of King Alfred, edited by Mr. Sweet] :-- warm, luke-warm; en með því þú ert volgr, og hvorki kaldr né heitr, mun ek út-skirpa þér af mínum munni, Rev. iii. 16; it is in rendering this very passage that king Alfred (l.c.) uses wealgh, so there can be no doubt as to the identity of the A.S. and Icel. word: passim in mod. usage, volg mjólk, volgt blóð, glóð-volgr, spen-volgr; spenvolg mjólk, milk warm from the cow.
