Note to Þul Óðins 5III

[1] Hroptr: So B. This reading, rather than the A variant ‘Þroptr’ (a hap. leg.), is preferable for metrical reasons (alliteration), although Hroptr occurs here for the second time (see Note to st. 2/7). The LaufE mss have (normalised) Þroptr. Þroptr (or Þroftr) could well be a result of confusion of the Óðinn-names Hroptr and Þróttr lit. ‘strength’ (cf. ÍO: Þroftur). Both of those names occur in skaldic kennings, but Þróttr is not mentioned in the present list.
