notes
[2] Aurvargr: An otherwise unattested cpd. Gould (1929, 942) interprets this name as ‘gravel-outlaw’, while Motz (1973, 113) translates it as ‘muddy wolf’ (from aurr m. ‘gravel, mud’ and vargr m. ‘wolf, outlaw’). This is perhaps a variant of the dwarf-name Aurvangr ‘gravelly plain’ or ‘mud field’ (the second element from vangr m. ‘plain’) recorded in Vsp 13/7, which is the form given in Skj B and Skald. The latter is most likely derived from Aurvangar pl. ‘mud-fields’, the mythical land of the elves (see Gylf, SnE 2005, 16 and Aurvanga siǫt ‘home of mud-fields’ in Vsp 14/7 (NK 4)).
