Note to Þul Fiska 3III

[1] þrǫmmungr (m.) ‘mailed sculpin’: Triglops murrayi, ModIcel. þrömmungur. In Old Norse, the heiti occurs only in the þulur (see also Þul Hauks 2/6). According to Nordgaard (1912, 60), þrǫmmungr may be a kind of sprætfisk ‘floundering fish’, while de Vries (AEW: þrǫmmun, þrǫmmungr) interprets this fish-heiti as ‘one jumping out of the water’.
