Norwegian: ær f, æd f

Uncertain. Cognate to Proto-Samic *(h)āvtë, either from a common unattested language or through mutual loans. Sanskrit आति (āti, “a type of aquatic bird”) has been suggested, but it is inconsistent with either Sami cognates or the unattested masculine form *áðr, both suggesting a Proto-Germanic *aw(V)diz, probably Proto-Germanic *awadiz. Derivations from an ultimate Proto-Indo-European *h₂éwis are considered "unconvincing" by Guus Kroonen, which strengthens the non-Indo-European substrate hypothesis.
According to Watkins, from a North Germanic root [script needed] (*athi), from Proto-Germanic *ethi-, from a theoretical Proto-Indo-European root *eti- (“eider”).
Compare the difficulty in precising the relationship between Old Norse igða (“small bird”) and Akkala Sami avigʒinĉ (“chickadee”).

Á þessum ráðum liggja stórir meinbugir, þvíat þat er it mesta Kristni-spell skírðum mönnum at eta hross.

impediments which make it sinful or wicked to do a thing

Finnask nokkurir þeir menn er þar vita meinbugi á, þá skulu þeir segja til fyrir brúðlaup, segja þeir eigi fyrr til meinbuga en brúðlaup er gört, þá skal engi maðr þeim þar um trúa, nema þeir hafi svá í fjarska verit, at þau tíðendi hafi eigi til þeirra komit.

ef nökkur veit þar meinbugi á, skal hann segja til þeirra í tíma eða þegja síðan

If any doth know of any impediments, let him speak them in time or keep his silence later.
