[6] klyppingum ‘shorn sheepskins’: So Jón Þorkelsson (1888). Kölbing (1876) and CPB have klýpingum but, according to Guðbrandur Vigfússon (CPB II, 610), klippingum would be better, i.e. shorn sheepskins for trade, an article of export from Iceland in the Middle Ages (cf. Jón Jóhannesson 1974, 313). Both klyppingum and klippingum (Rask87ˣ followed by Jón Þorkelsson 1922-7 and Páll Eggert Ólason 1947) are possible forms of this word.
