[2] róni: ‘ro[…]’ B, ‘roni’ 744ˣ

notes

[2] róni (m.) ‘gelding’: A hap. leg. The form and meaning of this heiti are obscure. Róni could be related to MLG rūne ‘gelding’ (adopted in this edn; see AEW: róni and cf. New Norw. rone, ModNorw. råne ‘boar’) or it could be a corrupt form of reini m. ‘stallion’ (ÍO: róni 1). Alternatively, the horse-heiti could possibly be connected with rúni m. ‘confidant’ (see Þul Manna 6/7).
