torgh (OSw) torgh (ODan) torg (OGu) noun

Presumed originally to have referred to the function of a market for trade, later also to its location and as such occasionally (ODan ESjL 2:22, 23) appearing alongside, for example, church and ‘beer bench’ (OSw YVgL Frb) as places where acts of violence were more severely punished. Also appearing in the context of correct procedure for transactions, not least with high-priced objects such as weapons, horses and cattle, cut and uncut cloth, silver and gold (cf. torghköp). The time and place for these is not specified, but was probably not restricted to towns.
