[5] ljúgfengr (m.) ‘fail-striking one’: This otherwise unattested cpd most likely refers to an unreliable weapon (SnE 1998, II, 348; cf. ljúgandi hǫgg ‘missing blow’). The first element of the cpd is the stem of the strong verb ljúga ‘lie’ and the second is the adj. ‑fengr ‘obtained’ from the strong verb fá in the sense ‘reach, get at’ (AEW: 3. -fengr; Heggstad et al. 2008: fá 4; see also missifengr ‘mis-hitting one’ in st. 11/4 below and such compounds as bráðfengr ‘quickly obtained’ and seinfengr ‘slowly obtained’). According to Falk (1914b, 55), this term is a sword-heiti and not the name of some part of a sword.
