Noun

tófa f ‎(genitive singular tófu, nominative plural tófur)

1. a fox, a vixen
   • (Can we date this quote?), Grímur Thomsen (music), “Á Sprengisandi”:

     Þey þey! þey þey! þaut í holti tófa,
     þurran vill hún blóði væta góm,
     eða líka einhver var að hóa
     undarlega digrum karlaróm;
     útilegumenn í Ódáðahraun
     eru kannske að smala fé á laun.

     Hush, hush, hush, hush,
     a vixen dashed in the hillock,
     wanting to quench his thirst with blood.
     Or - is it someone calling,
     strangely, with a harsh voice?
     Outlawed men, in the vast waste land
     are secretly guarding their stolen sheep.
