Kjör-gripr

Meaning of Old Norse word "kjör-gripr" (or kjǫr-gripr)

As defined by the Cleasby & Vigfusson Old Norse to English dictionary:

kjör-gripr (kjǫr-gripr)

m. a choice or costly thing; ek vil taka þrjá kjörgripi af úskiptu herfangi, Fms. vi. 148.

Orthography: The Cleasby & Vigfusson book used letter ö to represent the original Old Norse vowel ǫ. Therefore, kjör-gripr may be more accurately written as kjǫr-gripr.
