Noun

gehola m

  1. (poetic) friend, confidant, protector
    • 10th century, The Wanderer:
      oþþe mec frēondlēasne · frēfran wolde,
      wēman mid wynnum. · Wāt sē þe cunnað,
      hū slīþen bið · sorg tō ġefēran,
      þām þe him lȳt hafað · lēofra ġeholena.
      or friendless me would soothe,
      allure with glees. Knows the one who undergoes,
      how tough is sorrow as a companion,
      to whom little has dear confidants for himself.
