Line 53:
:''lathe'' / ''hlaða'' = ''barn''
In its simplest form this means water-end barn or lake-end barn – ''the barn at the end of the lake''. When specifically referring to the tarn in its modern usage, this could be seen as a tautological expression, where ''wat''– and ''tarn'' are effectively the same thing (water, lake), making ''tarn'' redundant.
