[2] Fengr: Lit. ‘gain, booty’. The name is listed along with Fjǫlnir in Reg 18/7 (see Note above), but it does not occur elsewhere. It is likely that, in the context of Reg, Fengr means ‘grasp’: Óðinn is a good ‘grasp’ for Sigurðr, because he helps him (Falk 1924, 8). According to Falk (loc. cit.), the name was originally a nomen agentis (from the strong verb fá ‘grasp, get, obtain’), and if so, its meaning would be the same as fang- in the adj. fangsæll ‘booty-blessed’ (cf. SnE 1998, II, 269). Óðinn possibly got this name because he is the one who brings dead warriors to Valhǫll. Fengr is also a heiti for ‘horse’ (Þul Hesta 2/3), but it is not otherwise attested as a horse-name.
