[6] sikulgjǫrð: ‘sikul gerd’ B, ‘[…]giorð’ R
[6] sikulgjǫrð (f.) ‘rope’: This may be the term for a rope used to reduce the sail in heavy winds, a buntline (from gjǫrð ‘belt’, while the first element seems to be from Lat. cingulum ‘girdle, waist-belt, sword-belt’; Falk 1912, 66). The word is also attested as a term for ‘sword-belt’ (LP: sikulgjǫrð 2 and Hallv Knútdr 2/2). See also kalreip ‘tack’ (st. 9/7).
