[7] Snyrtir: Lit. ‘polisher’ or ‘polished one’. Bjarki’s sword in Saxo (Saxo 2005, I, 2, 7, 19, pp. 182-3), otherwise known as Laufi (see st. 2/2 below). The name occurs as a poetic term for ‘sword’ in general. According to Falk (1914b, 60), snyrtir is derived from the p. p. snyrtr ‘decorated’ (cf. ModNorw. snyrta ‘embellish’) and may have had the passive meaning ‘decorated one’.
