Note to Þul Dverga 3III

[6] Dulinn: Perhaps lit. ‘hidden’, p. p. of the weak verb dylja ‘conceal, hide’ (AEW: Dulinn). Gould (1929, 944), however, interprets the name as ‘slow, weak one’, connecting it with ModIcel. dulinn ‘mistaken, conceited’, New Norw. dule ‘lazy, slovenly person’, ModSwed. dialects dulen ‘sickly, unhealthy’. The name is not mentioned in the list in Vsp, but it is known from Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks (Heiðr ch. 2, FSN I, 514).
