DRÚPA, t or ð, to droop (from sorrow), different from drjiipa, to
di'i['; dnipa is in Icel. an almost obsolete word, in old poets and

the country, hills, mountains are said to droop; svá dnipir mi Dan-
inurk, sein dauðr sé Kiu'itr sour minn. Fms. i. IlS: svá. þótti drúpa

mentioned but at public banquets: the Sturlunga time is worse, but only
those who had been abroad are mentioned as strong drinkers (cp. Arons S.
ch. 19); cp. also a treatise of the end of the 12th century, named De
