[8] barða (f.) ‘whiskered one’: This heiti is probably semantically similar to skeggja ‘bearded one’ (l. 3 above) or skeggøx ‘bearded axe’ and, if so, derived from barð n. ‘beard’. Alternatively, it may be a loanword (< MLG barde ‘axe’, cf. OS barda, OHG barta; see Falk 1914b, 109-10). The word is otherwise not attested in Old Norse.
