[4] kjarfilki (m.): Lit. ‘bunch-sole’. This is the name of an unknown bird and a hap. leg. The first and the second letter in the second element ‑ilki are somewhat blotched in the ms., but fairly certain. Ilki m. is a poetic term, the same as il ‘foot-sole’ (see ÍO: kjarfilki). The first element of the cpd is kjarf n. ‘bundle, bunch’, and ÍO (loc. cit.) suggests that this could be a kind of bird that setjist á kornknippin ‘seats itself on stacks of grain’.
