[5] stálœgir ‘the sword-intimidator [WARRIOR = Eiríkr]’: Stál is etymologically ‘steel (weapon)’. In the second element, normalisation to the god-name Ægir would be possible, but Konráð Gíslason (1876, 315) showed that œgir in such kennings is an agentive, from œgja ‘frighten’ (cf. ógn ‘fear’), and hence to be spelt with <œ> (oe ligature). Cf. œgir gumna ‘intimidator of men [RULER]’ in st. 6/5, 6.
