[6] gjallr: ‘giallrun’ C, gjallarr A, gjalarr B
[6] gjallr (m.) ‘clamouring one’: This heiti is also given in Þul Skjaldar 2/1 and Þul Sjóvar 1/5, but aside from a dubious attestation in KormǪ Lv 55/5V (Korm 76), this poetic adj. is used only with the meaning ‘clamouring, ringing, resounding’ in Old Norse. Gjallr is attested as a heiti for ‘sword’ in the later rímur, however (Finnur Jónsson 1926-8: gjallr).
