[4] skarfs ‘coin’: A hap. leg. with this meaning (LP: skarfr 2; AEW: skarfr 2). The word may be related to MLG scharf, scherf ‘half penny’, late ON skerfr ‘share, portion’. The homonym skarfr ‘cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)’ does not seem to be etymologically related (AEW: skarfr 1; Fritzner: skarfr 2).
