I realize we're not there yet, and it's really only luck that this is from Laxdaela, but:

Can anyone shed any light on the word "blæju" used of a part of Guthrun's dress in ch 55?  Are there other uses of this word in a context like this?  CV uses this passage as the eg.  How did CV come to the definition 1 they give?

Thanks!
