skorinn ‘cut’

(not checked:)
skera (verb): cut

notes

[3] skorinn línskauta ‘cut linen-square’: In 743ˣ Árni Magnússon has added the solution ‘iadraki’ above the line. This is ON jaðrakárn (ModIcel. jaðrakan) ‘whimbrel’ (Numenius phaeopus). Cf. Þul Fugla 5/8. The pun is on the elements of the cpd: jaðarr ‘edge, border’, especially of cloth, and the bird-name kárn; it is not certain what species this represents, but it is listed in Þul Fugla 4/1 (see Note there). According to AEW: kárn, this word is likely related to ON kárr ‘curl, finely curled wool’. An alternative solution, after Lbs 1116 4°ˣ, is lóa ‘a discarded flock of wool, the shagginess of cloth’ and ‘sandpiper’ (CVC: ló II; lóð II). Línskauti is a hap. leg. in poetry.

ok ‘and’

(not checked:)
3. ok (conj.): and, but; also

skip ‘ship’

(not checked:)
skip (noun n.; °-s; -): ship

notes

[4] skip Þráins ‘Þráinn’s ship’: In Njáls saga (Nj ch. 82, ÍF 12, 200), Þráinn Sigfússon is given a ship by Hákon jarl Sigurðsson in Trondheim (ON Þrándheimr) as a reward for killing the outlaw Kolr. The ship has an ornamental mast-head in the form of a vulture and is called Gammr ‘Vulture’. Cf. Þul Fugla 1/1.

Þráins ‘Þráinn’s’

(not checked:)
Þráinn (noun m.): Þráinn

járn ‘iron’

(not checked:)
járn (noun n.; °-s; -): iron, weapon

notes

[5] járn ór afli ‘iron from the forge’: Perhaps helsingr ‘barnacle goose’ (Þul Fugla 1/4). ‘Iron from the forge’ is a sword (see LP: járn), and helsingr is listed among the sword-heiti in Þul Sverða 8/7 (see Note there), although is not found as a term for ‘sword’ elsewhere in the corpus. The word possibly derives from háls ‘neck’ (AEW: helsingr), and in her edn of the þulur in this volume Gurevich translates the sword-heiti ‘long-neck’, a fitting description for both a sword and a goose. Helsingr seems also to be the solution to Gát 3/4, although via a different play on words. Trani ‘crane’ and ǫrn ‘eagle’ also appear among the sword-heiti, Þul Sverða 6/4 and 8/3 respectively, without other attested usages as sword-terms in poetry. See also Notes to Þul Orma 2/4 and Þul Sverða 7/8. In 743ˣ Árni Magnússon has added ‘teistikofa’ above the line; this (spelled ‘þeistekofa’) is also added as a gloss above the line in 1562ˣ. This solution is printed in SnE 1848 without comment. ON þeisti (ModIcel. teista) is the guillemot (Cepphus grylle); cf. Þul Fugla 4/4 and Note. ON kofa is a young puffin. It is unclear, however, how this solution is reached from the clue. In Skj B Finnur Jónsson does not propose a solution, stating merely usikkert ‘uncertain’; in LP: afl he suggests hávella ‘long-tailed duck’ (Clangula hiemalis), arriving there via vella ‘to boil, bubble’ (cf. Note to Gát 3/9). The LaufE mss ÍBR 35 4°ˣ and Lbs 1116 4°ˣ suggest geirfugl ‘great auk’, literally ‘spear-bird’, so named for the shape of its beak. This seems to be closer to what is required, but the mss date from the first half of the C19th, making it difficult to claim that it was the original solution; however the word geirfugl and the variant geirfalki are both attested from the C14th.

ór ‘from’

3. ór (prep.): out of
