[6] skarr (m.) ‘cutter’: An agent noun from the strong verb skera ‘cut’ (AEW: skera) or, less likely, as Falk (1914b, 59) suggests, from skarr m. ‘tumult’ (if so, the lit. meaning of this heiti is ‘noise-maker’). The C, A, B (744ˣ) variant (normalised) skár was likely caused by the form of the next heiti (cf. skár ok nár). Skarr is not found elsewhere as a heiti for ‘sword’.
