[8] klofar: so Tˣ, A, B, ‘klo var’ R, kalfar C
[8] klofar (m. pl.) ‘cleats’: Cleats or slats used to fix a tent on board ship (from the strong verb kljúfa ‘cleave’). See Falk (1912, 11). The sg. form klofi is also a term for the fixing of the mast (Falk 1912, 57) as well as for the area around the mast (Falk 1912, 84). See also SnE 1998, II, 335-6. This word is not otherwise found in poetry.
