Greetings all,
In Zoëga’s dictionary on page 53 the following entry appears:
bismari, m. steel-yard (mælir ok p ndari ok bismari).
I thought that “p ndari” must be a typo but when going to look at the graphic of the page it appears that way there as well. So I am wondering if this is a mistake and there is a space between “p” and “ndari” that should have a letter instead. Interestingly the page of corrections listed at the front of the dictionary lists this entry as having a mistake. It lists that it should be mælir instead of mæli as the dictionary has it listed. Anyone have an idea about this?
