[3] hrǫðuðr: hróðugr B
[3] hrǫðuðr (m.) ‘hurrying one’: The heiti is an agent noun derived from the weak verb hraða ‘hurry, hasten’ and it is otherwise found only once, in Alv, where it is a name for ‘fire’ in Hel (Alv 26/6, NK 128): kalla í helio hrǫðuð ‘they call it hrǫðuðr in Hel’. The B variant hróðugr was possibly caused by confusion with the adj. hróðugr ‘triumphant’ (RE 1665 has ‘Hraududur’, i.e. hrǫðuðr).
