[4] skráma: ok skráma C
[4] skráma (f.): The word is possibly related to Goth. skrama ‘sword, knife’, Old Frankish scramasax (cf. the strong verb skera ‘cut’; AEW: skráma 2 and skera), although the difference in vowel quantity ([a:] and [a]) cannot be explained. It is possible that the long vowel in ON skráma could have been influenced by Skráma, the name of a troll-woman (Gunnars saga Keldugnúpsfífls, ÍF 14, 362; Falk 1914b, 115).
