[3] heiðir (m.) ‘heath-dweller’: So B. Ms. A has ‘heiþér’ (see Note to hamðir, l. 1 above). The heiti is probably derived from heiðr f. ‘heath’ and refers to a wild bird. Alternatively, it could be related to heiðr m. ‘honour, payment’ and mean ‘noble gift’ (if so, as Falk 1925a, 239 believes, this word possibly denotes a bird given as a gift or as payment).
