[2] hertogi: ‘her[…]gi’ B, ‘hertugí’ 744ˣ
[2] hertogi (m.) ‘army-leader’: The word originally meant ‘army-’ or ‘war-leader’ and is often used in this sense in poetry (cf. tyggi m. ‘chieftain’, st. 1/8 above). Owing to foreign influence, hertogi later became the Scandinavian honorific for ‘duke’ (< MLG hertoge, hertoch; see Notes to Sturl Hákkv 23/8II and Ólhv Hryn 5/8II).
