The ODALSJORD consisted of the TUN or _Town-land_ with its BOL (_Head Bull_ or principal farm), enclosed by its TUN-GARDR (_hill dyke_), which separated its GARTH (_Infield_) from its SŒTTUR or HAGI (_out pasture_ or _hill_). Every enclosure from the Sœttur became a QUI (_Quoy_), which if encircled by an extension of the _Tun-gardr_, became a _Tumale_, or if again abandoned to pasture, became a _Toft_. It is doubtful if these later additions, the _Quoy_, _Tumale_ and _Toft_, enjoyed at any time the same Odal immunities as the original possessions—the _Tun_, _Bol_ and _Garth_; but there is not a doubt that the first Odaller occupied the _Tun_ and used the _Sœttur_ by the same Odal title, unwritten, unburdened, inalienable, and divisible equally among the Odal-born. In this division each _Garth_ or _Quoy_ might become the _Head Bull_ of a new Odal, with the same Odal-ræd, a share of the Infield, and a proportionate right to the common _Hagi_ or _Sœttur_, in which every intruder paid to the _Tun_ a HAGA-LEYFI for leave to pasture. The union of several towns constituted a HREPP or _Tribe_, with its local Court or HREPPA-STEFN, the members being bound together as HREPPSMEN or SKATTBRÆDER, sharing together the pasture of the MOAR or SKATT-HALD, and the TOLL-BER-SKATT exacted from strangers; and a combination of such _Hrepps_ or _Skat-halds_ formed a HERAD or THING, which in time became a PARISH. But equal and independent as they were, each secondary Odal retained a Suffragan regard for the primal Odalsjord, which gave name to the _Tun_, _Hrepp_ or _Scat-hald_, and the Odaller of the _Garth_ or _Quoy_ respected and acknowledged in the Odaller of the _Bol_ or _Bu_, the HOFDING or Chief of the HREPP and SKAT-BRETHREN, as naturally as the Tacksman and Bol-man felt their inferiority to both.
