Noun

hoill n (definite singular hoillet, indefinite plural hoill, definite plural hoilla)

Etymology 2

From Old Norse halda. Compare Swedish hålla. Due to apocope, the final vowel is removed while writing. Due to palatalization, the ending -ld use to be written as -ill(j).

Verb

hoill (present tense hell, past tense hoildt or hoiltj)
