að, usually dep. iðrask, [Ulf. idreigon = μετανοειν]:—to be moved inwardly (from iðr), but only used metaph. like Gr. σπλαγχνίζομαι, to repent:

I. act., impers. with gen. of the thing, to repent of; hvers engan iðrar, 2 Cor. vii. 10: with acc. of the person, nom. of the thing, Guðs gjafir og kallan kunna eigi að iðra hann, Rom. xi. 29.

2. pers., það (sic) iðrar mig ekki, 2 Cor. vii. 8; eigi iðra mik mínar görðir, Mar.: absol., heldr en þik iðri eptir, Sks. 250.

II. more often in reflex. form, iðrask e-s, to repent of, rue; opt ætla ek at vér iðrimk þessa, Eg. 732; iðrumk ek þess mjök, Sks. 720, Nj. 78, 79. Eg. 176, Fs. 8, Fms. iv. 369, viii. 54, Barl. 172, 180, N. T., Pass., Vídal. passim.
