sækta (OSw) sækte (ODan) verb

Related to the adj. saker (OSw) ‘guilty’; basically ‘to lay blame on’. The various translations focus on several aspects of legal proceedings that can be difficult to distinguish between, ranging from making a claim about something (such as a crime or a condition), over an accusation (‘to accuse’) to a legal prosecution (‘to sue’). There is considerable overlap between usages and translations. Participles may be construed as adjectives (for instance ODan SkL 67 ‘liable’).
