Definitions

1 högg-ró (hǫgg-ró)

usually spelt hugró, f. a clinch on a sword’s hilt, Edda (Gl.), Fms. i. 177, Hkr. i. 238, Þórð. 75: name of a ship, Fms. viii: in Hkv. Hjörv. the true reading is prob., hugró í hjalti, … önn er í oddi, for the MS. reading ‘hugr er í hjalti’ yields no meaning; hugró and önn (q. v.) were parts of the sword.
