Flight-bright one, flight-swift one, Fífa and missile, I shall mention finder and Gusir’s handiwork; there is Jólfr’s handiwork and the last is whizzer.
[1] flugglǫð, flugsvinn ‘flight-bright one, flight-swift one’: Neither heiti occurs elsewhere as a term for ‘arrow’. The first element in the compounds is flug n. ‘flight’, and the second elements are the adjectives glaðr ‘glad, bright’ and svinnr ‘quick’.
