Note to Þul Orma 2III

[5] grafþvengr (m.) ‘digging-belt’: From graf- (see Note to grafningr, l. 3 above) and þvengr m. ‘belt’. Like the previous word, this heiti occurs only in gold-kennings in C14th poetry (Anon Gyð 4/4VII, EGils Guðkv 37/7IV and Guðv 13/3IV) and it could have been invented for the þulur.
