notes

[3] Náinn: This name may mean ‘corpse-like one, dead person’ (from nár m. ‘corpse’; Motz 1973, 115) or ‘relative’ (from the adj. náinn ‘closely related’; see Gould 1929, 951 for both meanings). The name is known from Vsp 11 (NK 3, n.) as a variant reading in Hb (Hb 1892-6, 188-9): Nár oc Náinn, | Nípingr, Dáinn. See also this heiti in Þul Orma 3/1.
