Eggjendr ‘the warriors’
(not checked:)
eggjandi (noun m.; °; eggjendr): inciter
[1] Eggjendr: eggendr H, Hr
notes
[1] eggjendr (m. acc. pl.) ‘the warriors’: Lit. ‘inciters’. Usually serves as the base-word in a kenning and requires a determinant. Taken here as a half-kenning for ‘warriors’. Skj B emends to eggviðu ‘blade-woods’ (i.e. ‘warriors’), while Skald supplies eggsendi ‘blade-senders’ (see NN §2549). Both emendations are metrically incorrect because they result in heptasyllabic ll. (resolution on the verb in positions 3-4 does not otherwise occur until the C14th).
