Note to Hjþ Lv 7^VIII (HjǪ 16)

[6] meyjar Hrauðungs ‘the girls of Hrauðungr <giant> [GIANTESSES]’: The noun meyjar needs minor emendation from the mss’ meyja to give a nom. pl. form, which the syntax of ll. 5-6 seems to require. The pers. n. Hrauðungr also requires minor emendation, if 109a IIIˣ’s ‘hraudings’ is adopted. See the discussion of this presumed giant-name in the Note to HjǪ 3/8. The forms of the name in papp6ˣ and ÍBR5ˣ are likely to have been influenced by the name Hundingi, given in the saga to the evil father of Hervǫr, whom the heroes are compelled to seek under an álǫg or magical spell.
