verks er eigi var fram komit, where it seems, however, rather to mean one

and the same ... or the very same ..., thus, and he is now one and the same

man in thy band, who has now lost his bead, and he who then egged tbee

on to the worst work when it was still undone, or the very same, ... who,

með öllu, to refuse outright, Fms. i. 35, 232, Boll. 342: um allt, in respect

of everything, Nj. 89; hence comes the adverb ávalt, ever = of allt = um

allt, prop, in every respect, v. ávalt. V. the neut. sing, allt is used

as an adv., right up to, as far as, all the way; Brynjólfr gengr allt at honum,

onar konungs, all through the reign of king Hacon, Bs. i. 731. 5. in

phrases such as, allt at einu, all one, all in the same way, Fms. i. 113. In

Icel. at present allt að einu means all the same: allt eins, nevertheless; ek

ætla þó utan a. eins, Ísl. ii. 216; hann neitaði allt eins at..., refused all

the same, Dipl. iii. 13; allt eins hraustliga, not the less manly, Fms. xi. 443.

The mod. Icel. use is a little different, namely = as, in similes = just as;

allt eins og blómstrið eina (a simile), just as the flower, the initial words

of the famous hymn by Hallgrim. 6. by adding 'of' = far too ...,

much too ..., Karl. 301 (now freq.) 7. with a comparative, much,

far, Fms. vi. 45 (freq.) VI. neut. gen. alls [cp. Ulf. allis = GREEK;

A. S. ealles], used as an adv., esp. before a negative (ekki, hvergi), not

a bit, not at all, no how, by no means; þeir ugðu alls ekki at sér, they

ungum á landinu, all the quarters of the land, 222; at vitni guðs ok allra

heilagra manna, all the saints, Grág. ii. 22; í allum orrostum, in all the

battles, Fms. x. 273; Josep ok allir hans ellifu bræðr, Stj., etc. 3. by

adding aðrir, flestir, etc.; allir aðrir, all other, everyone else, Nj. 89, Fms.

xi. 135: flestir allir, nearly all, the greatest part of, v. flestr; in mod. use

flestallir, flest being indecl.: allir saman, altogether, Nj. 80. 4.

hundred, Fms. vii. 255. 5. used ellipt., allir (everybody) vildu leita

þér vegs, Nj. 78. 6. gen. pl. allra, when followed by superl. neut.

sú kemr til þess allra mest, especially, Hom. 149: very freq. at present in

Icel., and used nearly as Engl. very, e. g. allra bezt, the very best; a. hæst,

neðst, fyrst, the very highest, lowest, foremost, etc.

C. alls is used as a prefix to several nouns in the gen., in order to

express something common, general, universal. COMPDS: alls-endis

or alls-hendis, adv. -- scarcely to be derived from 'hönd' -- in every

respect, quite, thoroughly, used almost exclusively in connection with a

preceding negative, eigi, eingi, or the like, and giving additional force to

the negation; er þat hugboð mitt, at vér berim eigi agæfu til um vár

skipti, it is my foreboding, that we shall not carry luck with us to the

very end of our dealings, Ld. 160; eigi til allsendis, id., Eg. 75; þat er
