[5] austkylfur ‘the east-cudgels’: A dismissive term for Kjǫtvi’s fleeing men: like ModIcel. drumbur, kylfa signifies both a piece of wood and a contemptible person. As for aust- ‘east’, regardless of whether Kjǫtvi was king of Agðir (Agder), as Hkr indicates, his men’s flight across Jaðarr (Jæren) indicates that their home was (south and) east of Hafrsfjǫrðr (Hafrsfjorden).
