[1] fólknöðrur fljúga ‘battle-snakes [SPEARS] fly’: The cpd fólknaðra ‘battle-snake’ corresponds to a common type of weapon-kenning, whose base-word is a term for ‘snake’ (see Meissner 153-4). While this stanza is the only example of this usage of the component f. noun naðra, the corresponding m. noun naðr is often used in this way (see LP: naðr, naðra).
