Note to Þul Sækonunga 2III

[4] Skefill: Lit. ‘scraper’; cf. the strong verb skafa ‘scrape, plane’ and the sword-name Skǫfnungr ‘polished one’ (Þul Sverða 7/4). Skefill is attested as a nickname and in the Icelandic farm name Skefilsstaðir, but it is not used in kennings (Björn Sigfússon 1934, 137).
