áfr
nafnorðkarlkyn
( better afr), [the r belongs to the root, áir, ]
1. a beverage, 204, translated by Magnaeus by sorbitio avenacea, a sort of common ale brewed of oats; this explanation is confirmed by the Harbarðsljóð, verse 2, where Thor says, át ek í hvíld áðr ek heiman for sildr ok afra ( ), saðr em ek enn þess; the single vellum ( Reg.) here reads hafra. In the 1. c., the Wolf, reads afra, the 132 afr, : the passage 3, where jöll seems to be the yill (v. Burns’ Country Lassie), and úfo in Reg. a false spelling for áfr,—jöll ok áfr færi ek ása sonum, ok blend ek þeini svá meini mjöð: áfir, pronounced áir, now means buttermilk (used in instead of common beer): also ábrystur, curds of cow’s milk in the first week after the cow has calved; the milk is cooked and eaten warm and deemed a great dainty; opt eru heitar úbrcstur, Snot 299 ( 1865).
