uggr

== Old Norse == === Etymology === Possibly from a family of words represented by Proto-Germanic *agaz (“fear, dread”), and thus related to aga (“to threaten”), ógn (“fear”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) Others have supposed a connection to Proto-Indo-European *h₂eḱ- (“sharp”), though this is phonetically dubious. === Noun === uggr m fear, apprehension ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== uggligr === References === === Further reading === Zoëga, Geir T.
