Note to KormǪ Lv 65III
[2] Þórketill ‘Þorketill’: This is the earlier, more archaic form of the later, syncopated Þorkell; hence the ‘extra’ syllable ‑ti- is not the result of epenthesis, as the author of TGT claims (see Context above and cf. Einar Ólafur Sveinsson 1966-9, 26, 40-1). The earlier unsyncopated form can be found in Bragi Rdr 1/1 Hrafnketill, see also Note there.
