I photocopied and scanned the entry under "slóði" from the
reference book "Mergur málsins" which has just come out in
a revised edition. It is a wonderful book, which lists all
the "figures of speech" of the Icealandic language, and
includes most of the examples which occur in the sagas.

The entry will be found as a JPG under Files/Njála/. Hopefully
it will make clear what an excellent reference this is.

The book is rather expensive, but it is massive at 1128 pages,
extremely thorough and quite exhaustive:

I can easily post more such entries, if something comes up.
