60 HALLDÓR HALLDÓRSSON However, the possibility must not be overlooked that the verb *drepan has had some prefix, which has been dropped in the usual way in Primitive Norse. This will be discussed below. It would be an abnegation of the comparative method in linguis- tics not to presume a connection between the above mentioned Old High German, Old French and English phrases on the one side and the Icelandic phrase drepa stall on the other. And it must not be for- gotten that by using another method it can with fairly great certainty be concluded that drepa stall means ‘to stop’. I mean by comparing it with hjarta stallrar, which has been dealt with above. I think I am thus able to maintain that the Icelandic expression drepa stall is a Proto-Germanic expression meaning ‘to stop’ and has been preserved in the Icelandic phrase hjarta drepr stall. 7) The Icelandic expressions nema stað(ar) and taka stað and in the same way Old French prendre estal, English to take stall and the presumed Proto-Germanic *slalld neman are easy to explain. The verbs nema, take and Old French prendre mean ‘to take’. The ori- ginal meaning of the expressions is thus ‘to take a place’. It is quite thinkable that these expressions originally come from the military language, cf. that Old French prendre estal has the meaning “s’ar- réter pour combattre.” The expressions gefa stað(ar), OHG stal geban and the presumed Proto-Germanic *stalld geban are much more difficult to explain, in fact hardly possible without assuming that the verb geja (*geban) has another meaning than the usual one in the Germanic languages. It has been pointed out that the verb *geban replaces the verb *dö in the Germanic languages (cf. e.g., Latin do). It is to be expected that the Germanic meaning of the verb is not original. It has been presumed that the original meaning of the verb is ‘to take’, cf. e.g., Old Irish gabim ‘take’ and Middle Irish gabaim ‘take, give’.73 Taking into consideration the great age of the expression (see above), it is tempting to assume that this old meaning of the verb has been preserved in the expression. If this is 73 Elof Hellquist, Svensk etymologisk ordbok (Lund 1939), under giva; Falk und Torp, under give.
