ogilder (OSw) ugild (ODan) ógildr (ON) ogilldær (OSw) ogillt (OSw) ugilder (OSw) adj.

Etymologically related to the verb gælda ‘to pay (for); to be worth’. As an antonym of gilder (q.v.), used of that which does not meet legal standards, translated as e.g. ‘invalid’, ‘deficient’, ‘inadequate’. Also applying to certain legal procedures — for which the translations may overlap — such as the legal denial of compensation, including that for a criminal who is also victimized, reflected in translations such as ‘uncompensated’, ‘without compensation’, ‘not repaid’, of the dismissal of a plaintiff’s request, translated as e.g. ‘dismissed’, ‘without a case’, ‘without voice in the matter’, and of the dropping of charges against a defendant, translated as ‘with impunity’, making it partly synonymous with saklös (q.v.).
