- aðalból (ON) noun
- A main or primary estate as distinguished from outlying farms (ON útjarðir) (see utjorth) or tenant farms (ON leiguból) (q.v.). It was probably connected to a family, and some have suggested that an aðalból signifies the residence of a landowner. Some degree of legal protection was afforded to an aðalból, as in Grg Lbþ 172, which states that debt claims must be paid from other sources before selling the aðalból. Some have argued that the concept dates back to the settlement period in Iceland, but the earliest known written evidence for the aðalból comes in church registers dating to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Often thought to be the precursor of the manor house (ON höfuðból) (q.v.) in Iceland mentioned in Jó.

- aðilð (ON) noun
- The right of being a principal (prosecutor or defendant) in a case. See aðili.
- right of being principal OIce Grg Vís 94
- aðili (ON) noun
- The principal plaintiff or defender in a legal case. A principal had the right (and obligation) to prepare and present a case or else transfer those responsibilities to someone else. In most cases it was understood that the offended party and the one accused of the offence were to be principals, and Grg Vís 94 provides guidelines for determining who was principal in cases where one of these is lacking or incapable. In killing cases, a freeborn son of legal age (over sixteen) could be principal. Unmarried women and widows could also be principals for certain types of cases.
