654 UNDR -- UNNA.

O.H.L. 65; þá hringt er til miðs-morguns, ok hafa unninn eiðinn fyrr en hringi at undurn (dat.) at Krists-kirkju, when it rings at mid-morning time, and shall have taken the oath ere the bells at Christ's kirk ring at undurn, N.G.L. i. 308. II. a meal; hjuggu vér undurn frekum vargi, we carved a meal for the greedy wolf, i.e. we slew many in the battle, Km. 2; örn drekkr undarn, the eagle drinks undarn, Edda 101 (in a verse of about 1030 A.D.), the various readings (undranar and undjarn) shew that the transcribers did not understand the word. &FINGER; In the Icel. day-marks only nón (q.v.) is of eccl. Lat. origin; may not undorn be the old heathen term which was displaced by that word? the passage in Vsp. favours this suggestion.
