[4] afspringr (m.): This word is only attested in the sense ‘offspring’, which makes little sense as a heiti for ‘sword’. Faulkes (SnE 1998, II, 232) tentatively suggests a translation ‘one that springs off, rebounds’ from the strong verb springa ‘spring, leap’, but a verb-adv. collocation springa af is not attested.
