[1] gǫrbœnn ‘importunate’: Finnur Jónsson (Skj BI, 684) corrects this to gerbœnn on the assumption that the first element derives from poetic geri ‘greedy one’, hence ‘wolf’ (see LP: gerbœnn). But Kock (NN §1401) is no doubt right that it derives from Gmc *ȝarw- ‘eager, ready’. Most of the many ms. spellings represent <ǫ>, and can be taken to support Kock’s interpretation.
