[3] bakki (m.) ‘ferry’: Possibly a small flat-bottomed boat for transportation, most likely a loanword from MLG back ‘vat’ < Lat. bacca ‘vessel’. Other than in the present stanza, the word occurs in Old Norse only as the first element of the cpd bakkastokkar m. pl. ‘berth in which a ship is built’ (CVC: bakka-stokkar; Falk 1912, 87).
