Note to Þul Øxar 1III

[8] vígglǫð (f.) ‘battle-bright one’: Or ‘battle-glad one’, from víg n. and the adj. glaðr ‘glad, bright’. This heiti is not found in poetry, but cf. the shield-heiti vígglaðr m. ‘battle-bright one’ (Þul Skjaldar 1/8). Vígglǫð is also the name of a troll-woman (Þul Trollkvenna 5/5). Alternatively, the word may be a characterising heiti invented for the þulur and applied to several referents (on this type of heiti, see Gurevich 1992c).
