notes

[5] Nýráðr ok Nýr: Lit. ‘ingenious one and new one’ (cf. the adjectives nýráðligr ‘unexpected, surprising, newfangled, strange’ and nýr ‘new’; Gould 1929, 952). This pair of dwarf-names is also listed in Vsp 12/5. Nýr is given only in the Hb version (Hb 1892-6, 189: Nýr oc Nýráðr), while Codex Regius has Nár, but none of these names is attested in other sources than Vsp and the present þula.
