Note to Hharð Lv 6II

[3] þjalfa; -skelfi: The variant forms þjalma (m. acc. sg.) ‘enclosure’ and þambarskelmi ‘Paunch-Shaker (?)’ are possible, but very rare (see AEW: skelfir, skelmir 2, þjalfi 1, þjalmi 2; ANG §237.2). For a discussion of Einarr’s nickname, see Gade 1995b-c, Sayers 1995 and Liberman 1996. See also Eþsk CoupletI.
