Reekwater: from The Home of the Eddas: With a chapter on the Sprengisandr by Charles George Warnford Lock, 1879, p. 92: "From Hamrar again the way leads through the swampy valley of the Reekwater, crossing and recrossing the sinuous stream more than a dozen times." Reekwater is Lock's anglicized term for a stream called Reykjadalsá, near the village of Reykholt in Western Iceland. This is one of the many rivers incorporated into FW.
