[4] hraunn: A hap. leg. This is an obscure word whose form is uncertain. Mss R, Tˣ and C have hraunn, and A and B have the variants (normalised) hrør (A; cf. hrør ‘corpse’) and ‘hramr’ (B; cf. OS hrama ‘frame’). According to de Vries (AEW: hraunn) hraunn is related to the strong verb hrjóða ‘cover’. Alternatively, the term might be connected with hraun n. ‘lava field’ (ÍO: hraunn).
