Hi there,

Reckon "verk" are deeds rather than business.

"Leita lífs (marks) með e-m": Search for someone's sign of life.
"verk" are deeds .
Compare! "líflaus" is lifeless but "líflátinn" is executed or put to
death.

Fell is moorland, see "mýrlendi" "fjall or fjöll" we name Mountains.
But Icelandic "Fell [FeDL]" are Rocky Hills or smaller than
mountains: "fjöll".

Delegates or members sent to provincial "Þing" or "ÞingHá" are
named "Þingmen"
Those representing the "Goði" at the General Assembly "Alþingi" are
named "alþingismenn".

Goði some kind of Duke?

Some points

Thanks Uoden.

Thing about or (þ)ING R(ight)ING Bell: That is Circle is drawn around
place of Thinking and referred to as "Þing".
