sylfmyrþ

Noun

 * 1)  suicide? The word occurs only in two textually related glosses on the Greek-derived Latin word biothanatus in Aldhelm of Malmesbury's Prosa de virginitate. Clayton suggests 'the act of suicide', while other Old English glosses on the same sentence suggest the meaning 'self-killer'. Bosworth and Toller suggest 'self-destructive'.
