[5] Hannarr: so B, ‘hannerr’ A

notes

[5] Hannarr: So B and the LaufE mss (Hanar). The word may be the same as the adj. hannarr ‘skilled’ (so Gould 1929, 948), although in Vsp 13/4 (NK 3) the name occurs as Hánarr or Hanarr. Motz’s (1973, 114) suggestion that it may be connected with hani m. ‘rooster’ and mean ‘chanter’, is untenable because the metre requires a long root syllable (Hán- or Hann-).
