[2] sviptingr: so all others, ‘[…]ipting’ R
[2] sviptingr (m.) ‘reef-point’: From the weak verb svipta ‘move quickly’ (see AEW: sviptingr for cognates). In Old Norse legal texts, this word could refer to a reef-point, i.e. a horizontal row of ropes across a sail which marks off the section to be taken in, and it could also denote similar bands on a ship’s tent that were used to join the parts of the tent (see NGL V, 622 and Falk 1912, 10, 12). The word does not otherwise occur in skaldic verse.
