[6] Sǫlsi: so W, 2368ˣ, gylvir A

notes

[6] Sǫlsi: So W and 2368ˣ, whereas A gives the name Gylvir (= Gylfi; for the latter see Þul Sækonunga 1/8). Sǫlsi (lit. ‘pale one’ from the adj. sǫlr ‘pale’) is probably a pet-name for Sǫlvi formed according to the same pattern as bersi ‘bear’ from the stem *ber- (bjǫrn ‘bear’ < Gmc *bernu). For the names Sǫlvi and Sǫlsi, see Þul Sækonunga 2/4, 5/2. Other than in the þulur, the name occurs once in a sea-kenning (cf. Hallv Knútdr 1/3).
