[4] Dvalarr: Most likely a variant of Dvalinn, the name of a stag in Skm (SnE 1998, I, 88). The latter is one of the four mythical stags mentioned in Grí 33/4 and Gylf (SnE 2005, 18) (see Note to Duraþrór in l. 1 above). The word could be related to New Norw. dvalen ‘lazy, sleepy’. See also the dwarf-name Dvalinn (Þul Dverga 2/2; see Note there). Neither Dvalarr nor Dvalinn is attested in the extant corpus of skaldic poetry.
