[8] gárr (m.) ‘rippled one’: A hap. leg. The heiti may be connected with ModIcel. gári ‘streak , ripple, vein’, referring to the incised pattern on a blade, and to the cognate weak verb gára ‘tear to pieces’ (ÍO: gárr). Falk (1914b, 50) argues that the word is the same as gár n. ‘scorn’ (cf. kvǫl ‘torment’, st. 4/4). The A variant, gramr m., is the name of Sigurðr’s sword (see st. 1/5), and must be a lectio facilior.
