supplement contains a list of additional words and references from
the eleventh century to the mid-fourteenth century. An essential
point of reference for any student of old Icelandic, supplement
author Sir William A. Craigie stated in 1957 that 'though the
dictionary is mainly intended for the old authors, both in prose
and poetry, it endeavours to embrace an account of the whole
