Note to Þul Elds 4III

[1] brísingr (m.) ‘blaze’: Cf. ModIcel. brísi ‘fire’ (known from C15th) and New Norw. brising, briseld ‘blaze’, brisa ‘lighten, burn with a flame’. For the proper names Brísingr/Brísingar, see Note to Þjóð Haustl 9/6. The word brísingr does not occur elsewhere in skaldic poetry as a term for ‘fire’, but it is found in the rímur (Finnur Jónsson 1926-8: brísingr).
