vágrek
nafnorðhvorugkynvág-rek
[the vág- may be but a popular attempt at etymology or a misapprehension of an older form vrek or vrak, ‘quae cognominantur lingua Danica wrech,’ Thork. i. 3; ‘wrek quoque quod specialiter nobis in toto regno retinuimus,’ 97; vágrek and reki () would then be two forms of the same word, onlv that in the law the former word is used in a more special sense]:—in law phrase, a ‘wave-wreck,’ flotsom; þat heitir v. er kemr á land, manns-lík eða vara, eða fé, eða skipviðr, ii. 387; heita láta þeir v. er minnr er fjarat frá skutstafni, 76; skip braut … í Danmörk, Danir tóku upp fé allt ok kölluðu vágrek, i. 153; of hvalreka ok vágrek, ii. 212, 359, 389, (Unger) 155.
