hjog1 [hjōg (hjōγ)], sb., a hill, height; occas. (in place-names) of somewhat greater heights. The word is now obsolete in its general sense, but is, however, still found in a few places in the sense of tumulus; old burial ground, thus in Y. (Yn.) [hjōg] and in Sandw., Du. [hjōγ]. The word appears frequently in place-names; uncompounded mostly with prefixed art. “de” and, partly at any rate, with meaning understood; comm. pronounced: hjōg, e.g.: “de mukkel and de piri Hjog (hjog)”, the great and the small hill, two heights between Baltasound and Haroldswick, Unst. Further: de Hjogs o’ Hwefirt’ (Nm.), o’ Taft (De.), “de Hjog” and “de Hjogins [hjōgɩns] o’ Velji” (Fe.), the latter from an old “haugarnir”, def. pl., with a later added Eng. pl. s. See Shetl. Stedn., p. 103. The word is noted down in a single compounded place-name høg [hø̄g], viz. in the name of a fishing-ground: Rivena-høgena-wi [rɩv··əna·-hø̄··gəna·-wi̇̄] (Uw.), named after two landmarks, by means of which it is to be found: *rifan or (accus.) rifuna-hauginn-við, “the cleft in a line with the hill”. — O.N. haugr, m., a mound; a cairn.
