[1] Árstillir ‘instituter of abundance’: The kenning is able to bear both meanings of both its elements: ár ‘year’ and ‘abundance or fruitfulness’; stillir from stilla ‘to calm’ or ‘to institute or rule’, of which LP (1860) favours the former (moderator) and LP the latter (styrer ‘ruler’). ‘Ruler of year’s fruitfulness’ accords well with the biblical dominus messis ‘Lord of the harvest’ (Matt. IX.38, Luke X.2).
