[7] Mǫst: An unknown island, probably an error for ON Mostr ‘Moster’, south of Stord (see st. 4/7) in Sunnhordland, on the western coast of Norway (cf. LP: Mǫst). RE 1665(Ee3) gives the form as ‘Mostur’ (the name is not included in LaufE). Munch (1846, 89) suggests that Mǫst perhaps could be Møsterøy in Saltfjorden, northern Norway.
