VANGR, m. [Ulf. waggs = GREEK; A.S. wang; Hel. wang; early Dan. vang, as in the ballad, Danmark deiligst 'vang' og 'vænge' lukt með bölgen blaa] :-- a garden, green home-field, Edda (Gl.): in the allit. vé ok vangr, house and home; frá mínum vénm ok vöngum, from my hearth and home, Ls. 52; þar var arnar-flaug of vangi, Edda (in a verse); hún-vangr, 'ship-field,' i.e. the sea, Eb. (in a verse). II. in prose this word is obsolete except in compds, in which (as in vegr) the v is often dropped (-angr); ái-vangr, vet-vangr, kaup-angr, qq. v.: in a great number of local names, þrúð-vangr, Aur-vangr, Ævangr: in names of fiords in Norway, Staf-angr, Harð-angr, Kaup-angr. In several mod. Scandin. local names 'vangr' remains in the inflexion -ing, -inge; it is often impossible to say whether the termination is from engi or vangr. In poët, compds, himin-vangr, sól-vangr, hlæ-v., the heaven: the sea is called svan-vangr, the swan-field; ál-v., fley-v., the ship-field, etc. = the sea; all-vangr, the 'all-men's field,' a place of assembly (= almanna-vangr), Ísl. ii. (in a verse); geð-vangr, 'mind's-field,' the mind's abode, i.e. the breast; baug-v., fólk-v., hjör-v., geir-v., the shield-field, sword-field, i.e. the shield; orm-v., 'snake-field,' i.e. gold, Lex. Poët.; Þrúð-vangr, the abode of Thor, Gm., Edda.
