blóð-þyrstr  as I understand it - blood-thirsty    or blóð-drykkja  which  is blood-drinking
I feel sure if I am mistaken there will be Llama-Nom who may correct me
These are originals - it took me some time to find them - hope this helps

Hrafn-boð now that means AIUI - Raven Feast in that the sword is a
Giver of sustenance  to Odin's Swans (kenning for Ravens)
The Warrior - your self being the wielder of the instrument

Very good site.
But I was hoping for something original that isn't just stolen from a
saga.

thanks,
Elizabeth
