[4] afraki (m.) ‘prince’: The word is found only in this þula and its origin is obscure; cf. also ‑rekr (in folkrekr ‘folk-ruler’) and ‑reki (in landreki ‘land-ruler’, st. 2/6). According to de Vries, ‑raki is related to the weak verb rekja ‘straighten out’ (for other possible explanations, see AEW: raki 2 and ÍO: ‑raki).
