[4] synjór ‘seigneur’: Although de Vries (AEW: sinjórr) claims that this adoption from OFr. seignor ‘lord’ is only spät bezeugt ‘attested late’, it occurs twice in Sigvatr’s poetry and may have been introduced by him; see Sigv Berv 18/4II and Note. The mss show uncertainty about the first syllable; here the rhyming context suggests syn- while in Berv 18/4II it suggests sin(n)-.
