[5] hýsnoppu ‘downy-snouted [girl]’: This cpd noun, lit. ‘down-snout’ is a hap. leg., though its components are recorded elsewhere as simplices (cf. ONP: hý, snoppa). LP: hýsnoppa explains the cpd as referring to a woman with down on her lip, implying masculinisation, but the insult goes further, because snoppa ‘snout’ often refers to the snouts of animals. The cpd snoppulangr ‘long-snout’ occurs as a man’s nickname (cf. ONP: snoppulangr).
