Komi� �i� s�lir,

The stanza in OIRP for F� goes something like:

" F� er fr�nda r�g
ok fl��ar viti
ok grafseifs gata."

The usual translation I've come across is:

" F� is the strife of kinsmen,
and fire of the flood-tide,
and the path of the serpent."

My question is: What does "grafseif" exactly mean? Is it really a word for a
serpent, or is it a kenning? I tried looking it quickly in the kenning-lists
of sk�ldskaparm�l, without result. If I'm not entirely mistaken, "graf"
means a grave, and I vaguely recall seeing a translation on the web in which
"grafseif" would've been translated as grave-something. Unfortunately I
didn't find the translation anymore. Any help appreciated, thanks!
