fraukr
nafnorðkarlkyn
[ frosch, ], a frog; kom hagl svá mikit sem frauka rigndi, 169; the reading frauða-fætr in i. 351 ought to be frauka-fætr (frauþa = frauka), frogs’ legs, aricles used in witchcraft; if nails (ungues), frogs’ legs, and the like were found in ‘bed or bolster,’ it made a person liable to outlawry, as being tokens of sorcery; Shakespeare’s Macbeth, ‘toe of frog, wool of bat, and tongue of dog.’
