[7] Ásmundr: ‘asmun[…]’ B, ‘asmundr’ 744ˣ, jǫsmundr R, C, ǫsmundr Tˣ
[7] Ásmundr: So A (and adopted in Finnur Jónsson 1934-5, 296; Skj B; LP: Ásmundr). According to Finnur (LP) this is the famous legendary king Gnóðar-Ásmundr (see Note to Anon Mhkv 8/5 and Introduction to GnóðÁsm). Björn Sigfússon (1934, 134) adopts the R variant Jǫsmundr (a hap. leg.), which he takes as cognate with the names Jǫsurr and Jǫsurmarr, whose origin is not clear. If there is a connection between the first element of the cpd names Jǫs- and New Norw. jase ‘excitement of mind and body’ or ON ǫs f. ‘bustle of a crowd, tumult’ (cf. the reading Ǫsmundr in Tˣ), Jǫsmundr possibly means ‘one fighting in a tumult’. Neither Ásmundr nor Jǫsmundr are used in skaldic kennings.
