Note to Þul Sverða 8^III

[3] œgir (m.) ‘frightener’: So A. This is also a heiti for ‘helmet’ (see Note to Þul Hjálms 2/3), but it is not found in poetry as a term for ‘sword’. The R, C variant eygir m., perhaps lit. ‘looker, observer’ from the weak verb eygja ‘see’ (cf. CVC: eygja), does not occur elsewhere.
