[7] Glammi: The son of Geitir (Flat 1860-8, I, 22). Glammi and Geitir are mentioned in Þul Sækonunga 1/2, 7 and both names occur in kennings. Glammi m. means ‘clashing one’ (from glamm n. ‘a shrill noise, clash of weapons’). Cf. also glammi ‘noisy one’ as a heiti for ‘wolf’ (Þul Vargs 1/7) and Glammaðr, the name of a berserk in Egils saga einhenda ok Ásmundar berserkjabana (ch. 10, FSN III, 387). See also glǫmmungr m. ‘noise-maker’, a heiti for ‘fish’ (Þul Fiska 3/5).
