"skrælingi" meaning in Old Norse

See skrælingi in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈskrɛːlɪ̃ŋɡɪ/ (note: 12th century Icelandic)
Etymology: Uncertain. There are several suggested origins: * Derived from an unattested adjective *skræll (“poor, puny”), compare Norwegian skral (“poor, ill, bad”), Dutch schraal (“poor, scanty”); * Michael Fortescue et al. (1994) propose relation to skrá (“dried skin”), in reference to the animal pelts worn by the Inuit; * May be linked to skrælna (“to be shrivelled, e.g. by the sun”); * Onomatopoeic origin has been proposed by William Thalbitzer (1932), compare skrækja (“to screech, shriek”).
