Swedish has a noun 'stenbrytare' (MSwe 'sten' = ON 'steinn',
MSwe 'brytare' = ON 'brjótari'), so intuitively I would say
*'steinbrjótari'. But this alternative is probably wrong. The
choice 'steinbrjótr' is a better one (with the problem that this
stonebreaking guy will be mixed up with a plant Asplenium trichomanes
Lin., Saxifraga or whatever kind of stonebreaking plant it refers to).
