[8] beinviðr (m.) ‘holly’: Ilex aquifolium. Other than in this þula, the earliest attestation of this word in Old Norse is in Konungs skuggsjá (Holm-Olsen 1983, 22), where it is mentioned in the section which describes the marvels of Ireland (see Introduction to Anon Þulur). It is likely that the word was also used with a broader sense, ‘very hard wood’ (ONP: beinviðr). Cf. also beinn ‘holly’ (l. 6).
