nafnorðkarlkynvar-nagli
a, , better varr-nagli, with a double r, [for it does not come from vara, to beware, the pun in i. 15 being a poetical conceit; the word is rather derived from varra or vörr, ]:—the bung for the hole in a boat’s bottom; chiefly in the phrase, slá varnagla við e-u, to take precaution against a future leakage, a future emergency.
