taka
(OSw)
taka
(ON)
verb
There are mainly two legally significant uses: 1) to seize goods in pursuance of a judicial order (often taka in (OSw) or take til (ODan)), and 2) to apprehend criminals, particularly thieves, but also certain sex criminals and killers, in circumstances that made their guilt evident, typically with the stolen goods on their person or locked in their home. Provided that the apprehension and its circumstances were properly announced, a criminal caught in this way could be more severely punished, and sometimes even killed, without legal consequences. Expressions include bar ok/ællær (a)takin (viþer/mæþ), innitakin, take i hænde, takin mæþ, takin (ok gripin) a færsko gærning, takin viþ.
