Hrafn and Sleipnir, splendid horses, Valr and Léttfeti, Tjaldari was there, Gulltoppr and Goti, I heard Sóti mentioned, Mór and Lungr with Marr.
[5] Goti: Gunnarr Gjúkason’s horse (cf. Note to Anon Kálfv 4/7). Perhaps originally ‘Gothic horse’ (so SnE 1998, II, 292), or derived directly from the strong verb gjóta ‘pour, spawn’ (see AEW: goti). In poetry the word is a heiti for ‘horse’ in general (see also Þul Hesta 1/7).
