The more I see of Old English, the more entertaining it gets. This word must be the source (maybe) of “fnarr fnarr” as used by Finbarr Saunders (and his Double Entendres) in Viz. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fnarr&defid=244750 LikeLike
Makes sense for the 2nd definition there: “a slightly self-dejectory nasal exclamation”. Glad you find OE entertaining. 🙂 LikeLiked by 1 person
