[3] ímnir (m.) ‘battler’: A hap. leg. According to de Vries (AEW: ímnir), ímnir is derived from íma f. ‘battle’ and possibly also from ímun f. ‘battle’. Falk (1914b, 53) suggests a connection with ímun f. ‘battle’. Less plausible is the explanation in LP: ímnir where this word is connected with the adj. ímleitr ‘dusky, grey-coloured’ (of a wolf).
