[2] Fáfnir: The legendary dragon killed by Sigurðr (see Þul Orma 1/6). Other heiti for ‘sword’ that coincide with the names of mythical or legendary beings in the present stanza are Góinn, gest-Móinn (l. 7) and Níðhǫggr (l. 8). As a sword-heiti the name does not occur elsewhere, and it is not attested as a base-word in sword-kennings.
