Épinal Glossary hran (c. 700) and Futhorc ᚻᚱᚩᚾᚫᛋ (hrónæs) (gen. sg.) on the Franks Casket (early 8th c.). Perhaps related to Proto-Germanic *harzaz (“a kind of fish”).

Pal. lat. 68, folio 12v: ===== Usage notes ===== This word, especially as part of the well-known poetic compound hranrād, has long been translated as just "whale", as if fully synonymous with hwæl; however, Tolkien argues that the term better refers to some kind of porpoise or dolphin. Another article addresses this more directly; concluding that hran likely refers to the larger members of the family Delphinidae, such as the Orca and Pilot whale, but not any much smaller than the Risso's dolphin. ===== Declension ===== Strong a-stem: ===== Alternative forms ===== hron, ran ===== Derived terms ===== hranfisċ ===== Collocations ===== mereswīn seolh ===== References ===== Joseph Bosworth; T.
