Note to stanza3. Anonymous Þulur, 31. Skipa heiti, 4 [Vol. 3, 867] [3] Elliði: A high-speed long-ship that sails alone. Falk (1912, 88) suggests that Elliði is a loanword from Old Slavonic < alŭdii (cf. Russian ladija ‘boat’; see also leðja ‘lighter’ in st. 3/5 above). Alternatively, the name could be an indigenous term (< *einliði, from einn ‘one’ and ‑liði derived from the strong verb líða ‘go, pass, glide’; see ÍO: elliði). Elliði appears in Old Norse texts both as a common noun (King Górr’s ship in Flat 1860-8, I, 22) and as a proper name of several ships (e.g. Ldn, ÍF 1, 384; Þorsteins saga Víkingssonar, FSN II, 442; Friðþjófs saga, FSN II, 64, etc.). referencesFSN = Rafn, Carl Christian ed. 18… ∙ is referred to in ∙ Þul Skipa 4, n. 3 (SkP 3) Falk, Hjalmar. 1912.
