Ú

Ú- or ó- is the negative prefix before nouns, adjectives, and adverbs (Engl. and Germ. un-), for the spelling of which see p. 469, col. 2. The use of this particle is almost unlimited; it may e.g. be prefixed to almost every past part., in frequent instances answering to Engl. 'not;' ókominn, not come; ófarinn, not gone; úgefinn, not given; or to the part. act. as gerundive, það er óhafandi, unfit for use; ógöranda, not feasible; ódrekkandi, undrinkable; óetandi, uneatable; úsigrandi, óvinnandi, invincible; ótakandi, impregnable. 2. special usages: α. prefixed to comparatives, answering to Engl. 'less;' eigi úauðgari, not less rich; údaufligra, less dull; and so in endless instances, see the references below: esp. after a negative, eigi ósannara en, not less true than. β. often with another negative, with an intensive force; hann var aldrei úgrátandi, 'he was never unweeping,' i.e. he cried all along; aldrei ósofandi, never unsleeping, i.e. always sleeping: so also, eigi úgaman, not unpleasant, i.e. very pleasant; eigi úákafr, 'not uneager,' i.e. very eager; eigi úþessligr, not unlike that, i.e. quite of that kind; eigi úfóthvatr, not unswift, i.e. very swift indeed. γ. eiga skamt úlifað, see úlifað; at úsögðum sundr griðum, hafa úfengit þess fjár.
