{{Jakobsen/s}}{{*}}'''dag'''{{sup|1}} [dag, dāg, (dāγ) dāχ], {{nornabr|sb.|substantive}}, ''day'' in the {{nornabr|foll.}} phrases: a) {{nornsp|goden}} ({{nornsp|dogen}}) {{nornsp|dag}} ({{nornsp|dagh}}), ''good day!'' {{nornabr|Fo.|Foula}}; *góðan dag; b) in the names of a series of holidays, mass-days, such as: Tammasmass-{{nornsp|dag}} [dāg], ''St. Thomas’s day, the 21st of December''; {{nornsp|Todleses}} ({{nornsp|Tollegsis}}, {{nornsp|Toljegsis}})-'''d.''', ''St. Thorlak’s day, the 23rd of December''; {{nornsp|jøl}}-'''d.''', ''Christmas day,'' — see further under {{nornsp|apta}}, {{nornabr|sb.|substantive}} {{nornabr|Fo.|Foula}} A form, {{nornsp|da}} [dā] is found preserved in {{nornabr|Sa.|Sandness}} in a few phrases, such as: “a {{nornsp|da}}’s wark [‘work’]”, ''a day’s work;'' {{nornabr|prob.}} {{nornabr|L.Sc.}}; {{nornabr|cf.}} {{nornabr|L.Sc.}} da, daw, {{nornabr|sb.|substantive}}, = day. A {{nornabr|pl.|plural}} form “{{nornsp|dea}}, day-a [dēa, dɛ̄a]” is handed down in the {{nornabr|obs.}} phrase: {{nornsp|dea}} {{nornsp|leng(d)i}}, {{nornsp|mogi}} {{nornsp|sweng(d)i}}, ''as days grow longer, stomachs get hungrier'' ({{nornabr|Fo.|Foula}}), see the verbal forms {{nornsp|lengi}} and {{nornsp|swengi}}; {{nornsp|dea}} is a composite form, because {{nobr|“-a”}} represents the {{nornabr|pl.|plural}} ending “ar” in {{nornabr|O.N.|Old Northern}} dagar, while “{{nornsp|de}}-” is {{nornabr|Eng.}} day. The word is found anglicised in the old {{nornabr|compd.}} “day-{{nornsp|set}}”, {{nornabr|sb.|substantive}}, ''the close of day, sunset,'' = {{nornabr|O.N.|Old Northern}} dagsetr, {{nornabr|n.}} — {{nornabr|O.N.|Old Northern}} dagr, {{nornabr|m.|masculine}}, ''day.'' See the {{nornabr|compds.|compounds}} {{nornsp|dagalien}} ({{nornsp|dagali}}), {{nornsp|daga}}-light, {{nornsp|dagdwälj}}, {{nornabr|sb.|substantive}} and {{nornabr|vb.|verb}}, {{nornsp|daggri}}.{{Jakobsen/e}}
