Pronunciation
Noun
tófa f (genitive singular tófu, nominative plural tófur)
- a fox, a vixen
- (Can we date this quote?), “Á Sprengisandi”, Grímur Thomsen (music):
- Þey þey! þey þey! þaut í holti tófa,
þurran vill hún blóði væta góm,
eða líka einhver var að hóa
undarlega digrum karlaróm;
útilegumenn í Ódáðahraun
eru kannske að smala fé á laun.- Hush, hush, hush, hush,
a vixen dashed in the hillock,
wanting to quench her thirst with blood.
Or - is it someone calling,
strangely, with a harsh voice?
Outlawed men, in the vast waste land
are secretly guarding their stolen sheep.
- Hush, hush, hush, hush,
