Líge-leóht

Bosworth & Toller Anglo-Saxon Old English Dictionary - líge-leóht

According to the Old English Dictionary:

(?);

líge-leóht
adj. Bright with flame; the neuter used substantively, as abstract noun :-- Þis fýr is án lég, and hwæðre se an leg þreó þing on him hafað . . . Hé is hwít . . . þonne is þæt þridde þæt líhteð eall geond eorðærn . . . and þonne is hit hwæðre án lég, and ne mæg þæt háte fram ðám hwíte áscádan, ne ðæt hwíte fram þám légeleóhte (þæt háte, Þæt hwíte, þæt légeleóhte seem all substantive forms of the same kind, and an adjective lége-leóht seems to be implied as much as the adjectives hát and hwít). Verc. Forst. 168. lige-leoht
