"gammr" meaning in Old Norse

See gammr in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Unknown origin. Cognate with Middle High German gabilun, gampilŭn (in myth). Perhaps from Romance, compare Spanish gavilán. Or perhaps related to mór, from Proto-Germanic *maiwaz (“gull, seagull”), also of uncertain origin and possibly imitative. Connecting it to German Geier (“vulture; greedy person”) has been met with rejection.
