[2] fagrahvél (n.) ‘fair-wheel’: The heiti is also known from Alv 16/5, where it is the word for ‘sun’ in the language of the elves, and from the list of heiti for ‘sun’ in Skm (SnE 1998, I, 85; cf. SnE 1998, II, 268). It does not occur elsewhere in skaldic poetry, but it is found several times in the rímur (Finnur Jónsson 1926-8: fagrahvél).
