Þorm Lv 22^I l. 7

blakkan — dark

lemma:

2. blakkr (adj.): black

readings:

[7] ‑þiðurr blakkan: ‑þiðurs blakki all others

notes:

[7-8] blakkan bjór ‘dark beer [blood]’: Structurally, this is not a complete kenning, since it lacks a determinant referring to a beast of battle (see Meissner 207-8 for complete examples), but semantically a determinant is provided by benþiðurr ‘wound-grouse’ (cf. Note to Lv 10/2).
