gripi

Thanks, Alan! I see I had numerous mistakes. It looks like gripi could
mean either costly trifles or livestock. I took it to mean expensive toys
since she had not a bone of practicality in her and would have sold her
livestock to buy pretty things and had little but those and the land
remaining. I think the attitude of the saga writer is that the woman is
silly and won't have anything to eat eventually - - which has already
happened in her previous marriage.
