fley

nafnorðhvorugkyn
a kind of swift ship (= snekkja, ); only found in poets, as Thiodolf calls the sea fleyja flatvöllr, the flat-field of the fleys, 2. 4; fley ok fagrar árar, a fley and beautiful oars, Egill; used by poets also in many compds, as fley-braut, fley-vangr, the road-field of the fleys, ; never in prose, except in names, as Gesta-fley, viii, ; but fley-skip occurs not only in verse, i. 528, but also in a deed of the year 1315, iii. 112:—also used of merchant ships, The flibóte, fly-boat (Johnson) point to a form fley-bátr = fley-skip, though that form has not been found; from the flibóte came the flibustiero, Anglo-American filibuster: also the freibeuter, freebooter, Dutch vrijbuiter represent the same word, altered so as to give an intelligible sense in the respective languages.
