[1] húnn, húnbora (m., f.) ‘masthead, masthead-hole’: According to Jesch (2001a, 160), húnn was ‘the often quadrilateral strengthening of the area at the top of the mast through which the halyards passed and on which the shrouds could rest’. Húnbora ‘masthead-hole’ was the hole in the húnn through which the halyards passed (Falk 1912, 59).
