Honum - dat. sing. (to) him
poss. dat - í andlit honum - into his face / or / ór höndu honum - out of his hands
Hope this is of use to you the little ö is instead of the little o with a squiggle - which my
Character Map won't let me make

Does anyone know what the word "honum" means? As in this sentence from the Gylfaginning of the Prose Edda:
Frá honum er þat sagt at hann gaf einni farandi konu at launum skemmtunar sinnar eitt plógsland í ríki sínu þat er fjórir öxn drægi upp dag ok nótt.
Is this word a pronoun or an oft-used word that appears in different forms (like a verb conjugation) so looking it up in the Norse/English dictionary wouldn't show an entry with that form of the wrod?
Thanks.
scott
