Note to Þul Á 1III

[8] Rennandi (f. nom. sg.): Lit. ‘running’, pres. part. of the strong verb renna ‘run’. The name of a mythical river (Grí 27/5, see the previous Note). Olsen (1964, 15) suggests that this name may refer to a river that is always free of ice. This heiti is attested in a kenning for ‘gold’ in Anon Liðs 7/8I.
