[8] nǫkkvi, snekkja ‘rowing boat, warship’: According to Falk (1912, 85), nǫkkvi m. was originally a boat made from a hollowed tree-trunk (see Note to l. 7 above). Cf. OE naca, OS nako and OHG nahho ‘ship, boat’ (AEW: 1. nǫkkvi). A snekkja f. was a larger warship, which appears to have been somewhat smaller than a skeið ‘warship’ (l. 5 above). See Falk (1912, 102-3) and Jesch (2001a, 126-7).
