N. drambor n. “clenched fist; blow with a fist” (Category: Hand (other))

N. drambor, n. “clenched fist; blow with a fist; ⚠️[G.] thudder” (Category: Hand (other))

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “clenched fist, hence blow with fist”, a combination of dram “heavy blow” and paur “fist” (Ety/DARÁM). It seems this word can refer to both a punch with a fist and a clenched fist ready for a punch.

Conceptual Development: G. drambor was glossed “thudder” in the name G. Dramborleg “Thudder-sharp” (PE13/103; PE15/22).
