[1] fjǫrn (f.) ‘landscape’: The heiti is also listed in Þul Kvenna II 2/2, but it is not otherwise found in poetry. According to AEW: fjǫrn, the word may be derived from Gmc *fernō and related to the strong verb fara ‘go, travel’ or to the adv. fjarri ‘far off’ (hence, lit. ‘one stretching far’). Alternatively, it is possible that fjǫrn was derived from fjǫr ‘life’ (lit. ‘one giving life’ or ‘life-containing’; SnE 1998, II, 274).
