larðr

m. [from Fr. and Engl. lard], lard, fat: in the phrase, e-m sígr larðr (cp. e-m sígr kviðr), one’s stomach sinks, one is worn out, (vulgar.) In Hrafnagaldr 23 the sun is poët. called Fenris fóðr-larðr = the ‘wolf’s lard,’ the bait, the prey of the wolf, according to the tale in Edda of the wolf (Fenrir) running after the sun (Edda 7) and trying to swallow him. This poem however cannot be ancient, for this French word prob. came to Iceland through the English trade of the 15th century. The explanation given in Fél. x. 10 is erroneous.
