Note to Bragi Þórr 1^III

[3] þafðan ‘pounded’: The inf. form *þefja, of which þafðr ‘pounded, stirred, beaten’ is the p. p., has not been recorded in Old Icelandic, but must have existed; the p. p. þafðan is recorded in the sense of ‘thickened by stirring’ (of porridge) in Eyrbyggja saga (Eb ch. 39, ÍF 4, 105). Skj B and Skald, basing themselves on W’s and B’s readings, prefer the form þœfðan, which would derive from the more common verb þœfa ‘press/full cloth’.
