Note to Þul Skipa 5III

[6] stuðill (m.) ‘support’: As a name for a part of a ship, stuðill perhaps denotes the ridge-pole of the tent on board a ship (SnE 1998, II, 404). The only known occurrence of the word in a nautical context is as the second element of the cpd tjaldstuðill ‘tent-support’ (Falk 1912, 11-12).
