[3] Duneyrr: ‘dv́ne[…]’ B, ‘dasnaf’ 744ˣ, ‘Dun’ RE 1665
[3] Duneyrr: In Grí 33/5 and Gylf (SnE 2005, 18), Duneyrr is one of four mythical stags (see Note to Duraþrór in l. 1 above). The name is also listed in Skm (SnE 1998, I, 88), but it does not occur in skaldic verse. The meaning of Duneyrr is not clear. According to Finnur Jónsson (cited in AEW: Duneyrr), it is formed from dun ‘noise’ and eyrr m. ‘gravelly bank’ and hence perhaps means ‘one running noisily across a gravelly bank’. Lindquist (1937a, 329) suggests that the second element is related to eyra n. ‘ear’ and that the name means ‘downy-eared one’ (dúneyrr) or ‘brown-eared one’ (dunneyrr).
