Hi there,

Kaupmáli or Bargain. Also named hjúskaparmáli. Matrimonial Bargain.
As the Bride came with "HeimanMund"[dowry] should it not be fitting if
the Groom paid for the matrimonial bargain.
Maybe the local "Gode" was the treasurer in question. The collector
of matrimomial bargain fee.

Some Pondering.

Thanks Uoden
