Note to Þul Trollkvenna 3III

[5] Íviðja: This is an obscure word or a pers. n., presumably formed from the prefix í- ‘in’ and viðr m. ‘wood’, and it might denote a troll-woman dwelling in a forest or a tree (cf. Motz 1981, 501), but that cannot be ascertained. The heiti is also found in Hyndl 48/2 and in Vsp 2/6 (NK 1).
