[2] hausamølvir (m.) ‘crusher of skulls’: So Tˣ, A, B. An otherwise unattested cpd from hauss m. ‘skull’ (hausa- gen. pl.) and the weak verb mølva ‘shiver, break’ (ModIcel. mölva ‘shatter, crush’), which in Old Norse occurs only in poetry (cf. Goth. gamalwjan ‘crush’; AEW: mølva). The R variant ‑mǫlnir may be a scribal error for ‑molnir from the weak verb molna ‘crumble’, hence ‘-grinder(?)’ (so SnE 1998, II, 303).
