notes
[1] vǫnsuðr (m.) ‘wanderer’: The word is most likely related to New Norw. vansa ‘wander’ (ÍO: vönsuður, vǫnsuðr). This heiti is also a name for ‘wind’ in the language of the gods in the stanza from Alv cited in Skm (SnE 1998, I, 90): Vindr heitir með mǫnnum, | enn *vǫnsuðr með goðum ‘it is called vindr among men, but vǫnsuðr among the gods’ (so Tˣ(39r), A(14v) (twice), ‘vonsundr’ R(37v) by correction, ‘vofudr’ corrected above the line to ‘vonsudr’ C(7r)). Alv 20/2 (NK 127) in the Codex Regius version of the Poetic Edda gives the heiti váfuðr ‘swinging one’ (cf. Óðinn’s name Váfuðr; see Note to Þul Óðins 5/7). Neither term occurs in other sources.
