Löngum-orðinn
Old Norse Dictionary - löngum-orðinnMeaning of Old Norse word "löngum-orðinn" (or lǫngum-orðinn) in English.
As defined by the Cleasby & Vigfusson Old Norse to English dictionary:
- löngum-orðinn (lǫngum-orðinn)
- long-talker, long-winded talker, used as a vocative, in king Harald’s parting words to the poet Arnór—kom sja til nakkvars, löngumorðinn, he came for something, that long-talker! Mork. 32; in Fms. vii. 198 the passage is corrupted into kom svá næst til Noregs, by the transcriber who did not understand the king’s banter.
Orthography: The Cleasby & Vigfusson book used letter ö to represent the original Old Norse vowel ǫ. Therefore, löngum-orðinn may be more accurately written as lǫngum-orðinn.
