þýddar

þýddar is an Old Norse word that translates to "translated" or "interpreted." It is the past participle of the verb þýða, which means to translate, interpret, or explain. The word þýddar would typically be used to describe a text, speech, or concept that has been rendered from one language or form into another. For example, one might refer to a saga that has been þýddar into a different dialect or a dream that has been interpreted. The concept of translation and interpretation was important in Old Norse society, as evidenced by the existence of this specific grammatical form. It reflects an understanding of the need to convey meaning across different linguistic and conceptual boundaries. The root of the word is related to the Proto-Germanic word *þeuþō, meaning "people" or "folk," suggesting a connection to understanding between different groups.
