ALTHING, as a sb. everything.  Gau, 8, 30, corresponding to Dan.
    alting.  “Over al thing,” Dan. over alting.  Not to be taken
    as a regular Sco. word, however.  Gau has a number of other
    expressions which correspond closely to those of the Dan.
    original of Kristjern Pedersen, of which Gau’s work is a
    translation.

ANGER, sb. grief, misery.  Bruce, I, 235.  Sco.  Pro. 29.  O.N.
    angr, grief, sorrow.  See Bradley’s Stratmann, and Kluge and
    Lutz.  The root ang is general Gmc., cp.  O.E. angmod,
    “vexed in mind.”  M.L.G. anxt, Germ. angst, Dan. anger. 
    The form of the word in Eng., however, is Scand.

ANGRYLY, adv. painfully.  Wyntoun, VI, 7, 30.  Deriv., cp.  Cu.
    angry, painful, O.N. angrligr, M.E. angerliche.  The
    O. Dan. vb. angre, meant “to pain,” e.g., thet angar mek,
    at thu skal omod thorn stride (Kalkar).

APERT, adj. bold.  Bruce, XX, 14. apertly, boldly, XIV, 77. 
    Evidently from O.N. apr, sharp, cp. en aprasta hrieth,
    “sharp fighting,” cited in Cl. and V. Cl. and V. compares
    N.Ic. napr, “snappish,” cp. furthermore apirsmert, adj. 
    (Douglas, II, 37, 18), meaning “crabbed,” the second element
    of which is probably Eng. Apr in O.N. as applied to persons
    means “harsh, severe” (Haldorson).

ASSIL-TOOTH, sb. molar tooth.  Douglas, I, 2, 12.  See Wall.

AT, conj. that.  O.N. at, Norse, Dan. at, to be regarded as a
    Scand. word.  Might in some places be due to Celtic influence,
    but its early presence, and general distribution in Scand.
    settlements in England, Scotland, Shetland, etc., indicates
    that it is Scand.

AWEBAND, sb. “a band used for tying cattle to the stake.” 
    Jamieson, Lothian.  O.N. ha-band, “vinculum nervos poplitis
    adstringens” (Haldorson).  Norse habbenda, “to tie cattle
    with a rope between the knees to keep them from running away.” 
    Cp.  O. Sw. haband, Sw. dial. haband, “a rope that unites
    the oar with the oarlock.”

AWKWART, prep. athwart, across.  Wallace, III, 175; II, 109.  Same
    as the Eng. adj. “awkward” which was originally an adv. 
    Etymologically it is the O.N. afugr (O.  Ic. oefugr) + Eng.
    ward (Skeat), cp. the Norse vb. afvige, to turn off. 
    I have not found the prepositional use of the word in Eng.  Cp.
    “toward.”

AWSOME, adj. terrible, deriv. from awe (O.N. agi).  The ending
    some is Eng.  O.N. agasamr, Norse aggsam, means
    “turbulent, restless.”

AYND ([-e]nd), sb. O.N. andi, breath, O. Sw. ande, Norse
    ande, Dan. aande.
