Hi there,


Outlaw is deprive of protection of the law.

Útlagi is one that lies out side the reach of the laws: in exile.

"Heilagur" is untouchable. "Ó-heilagur" is not.

Today as always before.

You got the point or the indication.

Thanks B Uoden ON-Amateur
My kind of Native understanding.

Nevertheless I wish I could reconcile in my own mind the reason you
make óheilagur mean outlawed - notwithstanding you agree with
MMandHP, there is no suggestion of making this word to mean
outlawed, in any of the dictionaries unless it is where one of them
(dictionaries) says something like unholy, the Complete Sagas of the
Icelanders also gives it this meaning, (outlawed) and yet I am not
comfortable with it, can you help

another" - does that seem fair - I find this well worth thinking
about and would appreciate help on this
