Note to Þul Sverða 11III

[6] undirdregningr (m.) ‘under-drawn one’: A hap. leg. According to Falk (1914b, 62), this cpd is derived from draga undir sik ‘draw under oneself, embezzle’, whereas Finnur Jónsson (1917, 191) interprets it as ‘sharpened’. This word is more likely to be a sword-heiti than a term for a part of the sword.
