[4] Flaug: so A, B, flug R, Tˣ, C
[4] Flaug: So A, B (and Skj B, Skald). Lit. ‘flight’. This is the name of one of King Gusi(r)’s magic arrows captured by Ketill hœngr ‘Salmon’ (see Ketils saga hœngs ch. 3, FSN II, 122; see also Hremsa, l. 6, Fífa, st. 2/2 and Note to st. 2/4, as well as Forað Lv 6/1, 3VIII (Ket 27) and Note there). The word is not attested as a common noun with the meaning ‘arrow’. The R, Tˣ, C variant flug n. ‘flight’ is also possible (and adopted in SnE 1998) but less likely in view of the other arrows belonging to Gusir and enumerated in the present þula.
