This word, which occurs nowhere but in the above passage, is perhaps only coined by the translator from the French loup-garou qs. gar-ulf; ver-úlfr would have been the right word, but that word is unknown to the Icel. or old Norse, the superstition being expressed by eigi ein-hamr, ham-farir, hamast (qq. v.), or the like.
