Thank you; it's cool to hear an expert speak. However, elfwreck (http://spiralsheep.livejournal.com/276263.html?thread=4234791), working from a Norse/Germanic perspective, discusses its meaning in those cultures rather than in Old English per se. She links to the (for once, fully-cited) Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nithing) and cites Gisela Bleibtreu-Ehrenberg's work, although not by name.
