[…] […] the ale-ship [CAULDRON] out from our house […] (late) a royal court ==== Usage notes ==== Old Norse makes the distinction between hof "a hall, a sanctuary with a roof" and hǫrgr (“an altar, any cult site without a roof”). The prevalent meaning of hof in Old Norse literature is “temple, sanctuary”. Cleasby and Vigfússon (1874) note the generic meaning "a hall (as in German and Saxon)" in Hymiskviða 33 as a hapax legomenon. The meaning of “court” follows Middle High German and appears only from the 14th century and almost exclusively in compounds such as hof-ferð (“pride, pomp”), hof-garðr (“lordly mansion”), hof-folk (“courtiers”). ==== Declension ==== ==== Coordinate terms ==== hǫrgr vé ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== Icelandic: hof Faroese: hov Norwegian Nynorsk: hov Danish: hov Swedish: hov → English: hof === Further reading === Zoëga, Geir T.
