afrendr
lýsingarorð
adj. [frequently or almost constantly spelt afreyndr, as if from ‘af-’ intens. and ‘raun,’ of great prowess; but the derivation from ‘afr- = afar-’ and ‘-endi or -indi’ is better].
I. in the phrase, a. at afli, very strong, valiant, Fms. ii. 87, Finnb. 254; compar. afrendari, Fms. x. 321, Fs. 33, 48 (where the MS. Vh. spells afreyndr, so also does the Fb. i. 341, etc.)
II. absol. without adding at afli, Lv. 101 (where written afreyndr).
