[7] yfrir (m.) ‘overcomer’: A hap. leg. According to Falk (1914b, 64), it is probably related to a verb *yfra (OSwed. yfra sik ‘prosper’, ModSwed. dialects övra sej ‘flourish’; cf. þrór ‘thriver’, st. 3/5, with a similar meaning). Alternatively, this heiti could be interpreted as ‘that which is raised’ (cf. SnE 1998, II, 432).
