[6] Hremsa: Lit. ‘shaft’ (see ÞjóðA Sex 15/3II), either from the weak verb hremsa, hremma ‘grasp, clutch’ (so Falk 1914b, 99) or from hremsa f. ‘paw, claw’ (so AEW: hremsa). This is the name of one of King Gusir’s arrows captured by Ketill hœngr (see Notes to Flaug, l. 4 above and to smíðis Gusis ‘Gusir’s handiwork’, st. 2/4 below).
