Her-fjöturr

Makna kata Bahasa Norse Lama "her-fjöturr" (atau her-fjǫturr)

Seperti yang ditakrifkan oleh Kamus Bahasa Norse Lama ke Bahasa Inggeris Cleasby & Vigfusson:

her-fjöturr (her-fjǫturr)

m. a mythical term, ‘war-fetter:’ a valiant man who in the stress of battle feels himself spell-bound, and unable to stir, was in old lore said to be caught in a ‘war-fetter;’ this was attributed to the weird sisters of battle (the Valkyrias), as is shewn by the fact that one of them was called Herfjöturr, Shackle, Edda (Gl.); they were the messengers of Odin, by whom the warriors were doomed to death (kjósa val); the passages referring to this lore are FmS. viii. 170, Sturl. ii. 233, Ísl. ii. 104 twice (Harð. S.):—a similar belief appears in the Greek, see Od. xxii. 297 sqq., Iliad xiii. 358–360, xxii. 5 sqq.

Ortografi: Buku Cleasby & Vigfusson menggunakan huruf ö untuk mewakili vokal Bahasa Norse Lama asal ǫ. Oleh itu, her-fjöturr mungkin lebih tepat ditulis sebagai her-fjǫturr.
