Heimir Pálsson talks about the phrasal verb henda gaman at (e. take pleasure in) and how the meaning has changed in recent times. Chapter 40 of Egils saga starts by telling the reader that Skalla-Grímur “hendi mikit gaman at (e. took much pleasure in) trials of strength and games”. This is consistent with the original meaning of the verb henda (i.e. handle or grab, get or receive from). Today the meaning of henda has changed to (e. throw” or “release) and its meaning of the phrase is now “to deride”. In addition, the case of the word “gaman” used with the new meaning has changed from accusative to dative, so we can expect in the future so see people like Skalla-Grímur “henda miklu gamni að” trials of strength and games. | |||

Heimir Pálsson talks about the phrasal verb henda gaman at (e. take pleasure in) and how the meaning has changed in recent times. Chapter 40 of Egils saga starts by telling the reader that Skalla-Grímur “hendi mikit gaman at (e. took much pleasure in) trials of strength and games”. This is consistent with the original meaning of the verb henda (i.e. handle or grab, get or receive from). Today the meaning of henda has changed to (e. throw” or “release) and its meaning of the phrase is now “to deride”. In addition, the case of the word “gaman” used with the new meaning has changed from accusative to dative, so we can expect in the future so see people like Skalla-Grímur “henda miklu gamni að” trials of strength and games.
Lýsing
Um sagnarsambandið "henda gaman at" og hvernig merking þess hefur breyst með tímanum. Í 40. kafla Egils sögu er sagt að Skalla-Grímur "hendi mikit gaman at aflraunum ok leikum" en upprunaleg merking sagnarinnar er einmitt að 'hafa hönd á', 'grípa'. Þegar merking sagnarinnar breytist í 'hafa hönd af', 'kasta' fer "henda gaman að" að tákna 'gera gys að'. Fallstjórn nýju merkingarinnar er þó önnur ("kasta e-u að e-u") og því má búast við að í framtíðinni verði hent miklu gamni að aflraunum og leikum.

Chapter 40: hendi mikið gaman að: "[H]ér kemur sögnin "henda" fram í upprunalegri merkingu sinni: 'að hafa hönd á' eða 'grípa'. Smáorðið "at" er þá forsetning og stýrir fallinu á "aflraunum ok leikum" og hefur þá það orðasamband merkinguna 'við aflraunir og leiki' en öll setningin merkir 'Skalla-Grímur naut góðrar skemmtunar þegar bændur flugust á'" (p. 28).
