[2] hornumskvali (m.) ‘horn-clamourer’: Lit. ‘clamourer with horns’ (SnE 1998, II, 316). The first element is dat. pl. of horn n. ‘horn’, and the second element is related to the weak verb skvala ‘squeal, shout, yell, clamour’ and skval n. ‘squeal, noisy talk’. This cpd is not attested elsewhere. For a similar construction in which the first element is in the dat. pl., see eggjumskarpi ‘edge-sharp one’ (Þul Sverða 4/6).
