hælghidomber (OSw) helaghdom (ODan) noun

Holy objects appear in certain oath procedures concerning disputed borders between land (q.v.) and hæraþ (q.v.) and disputed land transactions (OSw YVgL) as well as in the new king’s oath of allegiance, which should be sworn holding both a book and holy relic (OSw SdmL). According to ODan SkL 113 a levelling oath (ODan javnetheeth, see jamnaþareþer) should be sworn on a book, not on holy relics. The word also occurs referring to places of pilgrimage (ODan SkL 83, 124) and relics in a church (ODan SkKL 1).
