Note to Þul Fugla 5III

[2] fjǫlmóði (m.) ‘sandpiper’: Lit. ‘very bold one’ or ‘very weary one’, from the intensifying prefix fjǫl- and the adj. móðr ‘brave’ or ‘weary’ (LP: fjǫlmóði). This is the same bird as ModIcel. sendlingur (cf. sendlingr in st. 7/5 below), ModNorw. fjæreplytt (Calidris maritima; see Bjarni Sæmundsson 1936, 373).
