[5] hals (m.) ‘hawse’: Lit. ‘neck’. This word can denote various parts of a ship: (a) the ends of the curved strakes running up to the prow and stern (Falk 1912, 51-2); (b) the front partition of a ship (Falk 1912, 84-5); (c) the ropes hanging down from the lower corners of the sail or the lower corners of the sail itself (Falk 1912, 64). It is not clear which meaning is intended here, but the context would suggest (c).
