[2] Galarr: ‘gala[…]’ B, galarr 744ˣ

notes

[2] Galarr: The name is derived from the strong verb gala ‘crow, chant, sing’. As a giant’s name, the heiti occurs only here. In Skm (SnE 1998, I, 3) Galarr and his brother Fjalarr (see l. 6 below) are the dwarfs associated with the myth of the mead of poetry, but neither name is mentioned in Þul Dverga.
