[3] eimnir: eimir C
[3] eimnir (m.) ‘flamer’: A hap. leg. According to AEW: eimnir, this heiti is derived from eimi/eimr m. ‘smoke, vapour, fire’. For the metaphoric use of ‘fire’ for ‘sword’, see such similar sword-heiti as logi ‘flame’, eldr ‘fire’, hyrr ‘blaze’ (st. 8/1, 2, 7). — [3] ímnir (m.) ‘battler’: A hap. leg. According to de Vries (AEW: ímnir), ímnir is derived from íma f. ‘battle’ and possibly also from ímun f. ‘battle’. Falk (1914b, 53) suggests a connection with ímun f. ‘battle’. Less plausible is the explanation in LP: ímnir where this word is connected with the adj. ímleitr ‘dusky, grey-coloured’ (of a wolf).
